A. Farret et al., SUPRARENAL AORTA RECONSTRUCTION USING A SAPHENOUS SPIRAL GRAFT - CASE-REPORT, The journal of trauma, injury, infection, and critical care, 37(1), 1994, pp. 114-118
We report a case of gunshot wound to the suprarenal aorta with restora
tion of blood flow through a saphenous spiral graft in an 18-year-old
man. He was followed for a period of 27 months. The follow-up showed a
progressive dilatation of the graft. This original technique for woun
ds of the aorta seems a reasonable alternative for trauma cases in whi
ch there is no vascular prosthetic graft.
