Abstract
Surgery is the general treatment modality for thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm combined with traumatic aortic rupture. However, we should select other treatment modalities for patients who can't tolerate surgery due to severe multiple injuries. Herein we report on a case of successful stent-graft treatment for a traumatic descending thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm combined with severe multiple trauma, and we include a review of the relevant literature.
