ABSTRACT
Injury to the abdominal aorta after blunt trauma occurs much less frequently than injury to the thoracic aorta. Although presentations vary, common themes continue to emerge with each patient. Within a 6-month period, our trauma unit diagnosed and treated two cases of blunt abdominal aortic trauma. Both patients were restrained passengers in motor vehicle crashes with resultant abdominal aortic injuries and demonstrated some of the most common associated injuries. Our two cases bring the number found in the literature to 62 and demonstrate the need for rapid recognition and treatment of this potentially lethal injury. This article is a comprehensive review of the management of abdominal aortic injury from blunt trauma.
