Abstract

Background: Blunt abdominal aortic injury (BAAI) is a rare injury which was reported in the world literature mostly in case report format. We sought to describe the experience of one patient with BAAI and to provide a contemporary review of the literature to better understand the natural history and management of this injury. Methods: This was a retrospective review of one patient with BAAI who was successful treated by bowel resection and abdominal aortic repair by cryopreserved arterial homograft. Results: No complications related to surgery and very good short-term outcomes. Conclusions: Although the mortality of BAAI is still high, early diagnosis and surgical can also save patient. Cryopreserved arterial homograft is one of the effective alternative material for replacement of abdominal aortic.
