| Popis: | During a 63-month period, 28 consecutive patients suspicious for injury of the thoracic aorta were examined by computed tomography (CT) Twelve ve aortic ruptures were evidenced; pseudoaneurysm and mediastinal haematoma III close contact with the aorta were present In 12 atients, marginal lucency in 9, marginal irregularity in 8 and intimal flap in 6. CT was falsely negative in 1 patient with in jury (d lhc lull subclavian artery. Angiography and surgery confirmed the diagnosis in ? patients, and surgery alone in patients. CT had a sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 100. The need for angiography was obviated in 67% of patients. A radiologist with experience in trauma management, CT und angiography should perform both examinations. |
