Successful Treatment Using a Kissing Stent for Blunt Abdominal Aortic Injury: A Case Report.
Blunt abdominal aortic injury (BAAI) is extremely rare. Three known treatments of BAAI exist: medical treatment, conventional surgical treatment, and endovascular treatment. Outcomes of medical and conventional surgical treatments, such as bypass graft, thrombectomy, and intimal suture, were not satisfactory. A 47-year-old man presented with multiple injuries after a high-speed vehicular accident. He was diagnosed with the traumatic aortic injury to be an intra-mural hematoma in the bifurcation of the terminal aorta. Endovascular repair with a kissing stent was performed after exploratory laparotomy. At 12 months postoperatively, the kissing stents were patent and intact, and there was no late complication. The findings indicate that the kissing stent could be useful for the treatment of BAAI in the terminal aorta.
