Zusammenfassung

Die traumatische thorakale Aortenruptur stellt ein akut lebensbedrohliches Krankheitsbild dar. Die häufigste Ursache ist ein Dezelerationstrauma, herbeigeführt v. a. durch Unfälle im Straßenverkehr und einen Sturz aus großen Höhen. Anhand eines Fallberichts über einen 57-jährigen polytraumatisierten Patienten werden Diagnosefindung, Therapie und mögliche postoperative Komplikationen dargestellt.

Abstract

Traumatic rupture of the descending aorta is an acute life-threatening event. The most common cause is deceleration trauma resulting in a sudden stretching of the aortic isthmus as for example in car and motorcycle accidents and falls from a great height. Exemplified by a case report of a multiply injured 57-year-old male the diagnostic pathways, therapy and postoperative complications are presented.
