Treatment
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the endovascular treatment of acute post-traumatic thoracic aorta rupture. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatments Because traumatic aortic transection is a life-threatening condition, treatment is needed immediately. The most common treatment is endovascular treatment to repair the damaged area. [cedars-sinai.edu]
The main aim of this article is an analysis of both advantages and disadvantages of the modern solutions of treatment – percutaneous surgery, in comparison with the classic methods of treatments described in the surgery of Achilles’ tendon. [clujulmedical.umfcluj.ro]
