Gunshot wounds involving the abdominal aorta; a report of two cases.Surgery, 23
Abstract Five cases of gunshot wounds of the thoracic and abdominal aorta successfully treated at Detroit General Hospital over the past 2½ years have been presented and the factors influencing their survival discussed. Four patients are alive 3 to 30 months later, and one died from an aorto-esophageal fistula six weeks after discharge from the hospital. The first cases of successful replacement of the injured aorta by a prosthetic aorto-iliac graft are also reported. No infection of the synthetic graft occurred in spite of massive intestinal contamination of the peritoneal cavity during surgery. References 1.
