Abstract
Traumatic injury to the aorta and the brachiocephalic branches are potentially lethal injuries. Specialized preoperative imaging and medical management can lead to better outcomes in this group of patients. In addition, improved surgical techniques for spinal cord protection have led to decreased morbidity in surgical candidates. TEVAR remains a promising technique; however, long-term data currently are not available.
