Endovascular treatment of traumatic thoracic aortic injuries in patients with normal anatomy and anatomical variants: safety, efficacy and long-term follow-up
TEVAR for TTAI was found to be safe (3 minimal complications) and effective both in the short and mid-long term. Patients' adherence to follow-up and contrast-induced kidney damage remains a challenge, but the use of MRI may be a valid alternative, avoiding ionizing radiation and the use of iodinated contrast media.
