Meanings of aortic transection in English

Traumatic aortic transection after acute deceleration injury remains a highly lethal condition.

Blunt aortic injury is the most lethal injury of the thorax, of which aortic transection is the second leading cause of death.

Conclusions: Although thoracic aortic transections remain a highly lethal injury, hemodynamically stable patients have a low operative mortality.

Objective: To analyze the effect of adjuvant perfusion techniques of the distal aorta on the outcome of traumatic thoracic aortic transections.

Patients and methods: From 1973 to 2004, 72 patients (mean age, 39 years) with thoracic aortic transections arrived alive at the emergency department.
