Core Tip

Core Tip: The era of high-speed motor vehicles has brought an increase in the incidence of blunt aortic injury, and the high mortality rate from traumatic aortic injury points toward vigilance. We report a 76-year-old man who was diagnosed with traumatic aortic pseudoaneurysm with right iliac artery dissection aneurysm 3 mo after severe trauma due to mild chest pain that gradually worsened. After interventional surgery, resolution of symptoms was observed, and there were no long-term complications. The aim of our case report is to alert clinicians to identify aortic injuries in light of history and diagnosing symptoms for proper treatment and the prevention of complications and mortality.
