Abstract

Trauma is an injury to the body that involves multiple anatomical and pathophysiological changes caused by forces acting from outside the body. The number of patients with trauma is increasing as our society becomes more sophisticated. The importance and demand of traumatology are growing due to the development and spread of treatment and diagnostic technologies. In particular, damage to the large blood vessels of the chest can be life-threatening, and the sequelae are often severe; therefore, diagnostic and therapeutic methods are becoming increasingly important. Trauma to nonaortic vessels of the thorax and aorta results in varying degrees of physical damage depending on the mechanism of the accident and anatomical damage involved. The main damage is hemorrhage from non-aortic vessels of the thorax and aorta, accompanied by hemodynamic instability and coagulation disorders, which can be life-threatening. Immediate diagnosis and rapid therapeutic access can often improve the prognosis. The treatment of trauma can be surgical or interventional, depending on the patient's condition. Among them, interventional procedures are increasingly gaining popularity owing to their convenience, rapidity, and high therapeutic effectiveness, with increasing use in more trauma centers worldwide. Typical interventional procedures for patients with thoracic trauma include embolization for non-aortic injuries and thoracic endovascular aortic repair for aortic injuries. These procedures have many advantages over surgical treatments, such as fewer internal or surgical side effects, and can be performed more quickly than surgical procedures, contributing to improved outcomes for patients with trauma.

외상(trauma)이란 신체 외부에서 작용한 힘에 의한 여러 해부학적, 병태생리학적 변화를 수반하는 신체 손상을 의미한다. 외상 환자는 우리 사회가 고도로 발달해 감에 따라 그 수도 따라 증가하고 있다. 치료 및 진단기술의 발전과 보급의 증가로 외상의학의 중요성은 점점 커지고 있으며 그 수요 역시 증가하고 있다. 그중 특히 흉부 및 흉부의 대혈관의 손상은 환자의 생명을 위협하고 그 후유증 역시 심각한 경우가 많아 진단 및 치료 방법의 중요성이 점차 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 흉부 및 흉부의 대혈관의 외상이 발생하였을 경우 그 사고 수상 기전 및 관련된 해부학적 손상 기전에 따라서 다양한 정도의 신체 손상이 발생한다. 주요한 손상으로는 흉부의 동맥에서 발생하는 출혈이 있으며, 이는 혈역학적 불안정과 응고장애 등을 동반하여 환자의 생명을 위협하게 된다. 이러한 손상은 즉각적인 진단과 빠른 치료적 접근이 예후를 증진하는데 도움을 주는 경우가 많다. 이러한 환자의 치료로는 환자의 상태에 따라서 수술적 접근 방법과 중재적 시술로 접근하는 방법이 있다. 이 중 중재적 시술은 그 편리성과 신속성 및 높은 치료 효과로 인해 점차 각광받고 있으며, 전 세계적으로 보다 많은 외상의료기관에서 점차 시행되고 있다. 대표적인 흉부 외상 환자의 인터벤션 치료로는 비대동맥성 손상의 경우 색전술(embolization)이 있으며, 대동맥의 경우 thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR)가 있다. 이러한 시술들은 수술적 치료 방법에 비하여 내과적 혹은 외과적 부작용이 적고, 수술적 방법보다 신속하게 시행할 수 있는 점 등 보다 많은 장점을 가지고 있으며 외상 환자의 치료성적 향상에 기여하고 있다.
