Midterm Outcomes of Nonoperative Management of Blunt Thoracic Aortic Injury: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
This meta-analysis, including only retrospective and observational studies, shows that minor aortic injuries will remain stable or resolve with time and can be managed conservatively with appropriate surveillance. The risk of lesion progression for conservatively treated patients with SVS grade III is low.
