BORULU, Ferhat  and  ERKUT, Bilgehan. Emergency endovascular stent graft implantation for acute traumatic DeBakey type III aortic dissection. CorSalud [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.1, pp. 95-99.  Epub Mar 01, 2021. ISSN 2078-7170.

The applications of thoracic aorta pathologies with a stent graft percutaneously have been performed for the first time since the beginning of the 20th century. Computed tomography was performed on a 79-year-old patient who was brought to the emergency room due to an in-vehicle traffic accident with severe back pain, and DeBakey type III aortic dissection was determined. An endovascular self-expanding nitinol stent (Talent Stent Graft, Medtronic) was implanted in the descending aorta where the dissected segment begins. Stent graft implantation is an effective method in preventing organ ischemia and rupture in traumatic aortic pathologies. This procedure is less invasive and has less complication than surgical approach. It is effective in providing blood flow quickly and safely.
