Delayed Post-traumatic Coarctation of Distal Abdominal Aorta - A Case Report -
수직추락후 발생한 복부대동맥 협착 1례 보
Abstract
We have recently experienced a rare case of abdominal aortic injury caused by deceleration force during fall in upright position. The patient was 43-year-old brick-layer fell from 12 meter height and sustained compression fracture of the spine and both legs. The aortic injury was unnoticed at that time. About 2 years later, marked stenosis of the distal abdominal aorta was found together with clinical manifestations of ischemia of both legs. Aorto-femoral bypass on both sides has completely relieved the symptoms, Similar type of abdominal aortic injuries could not be found in the literatures.
