Patients with blunt aortic injury often present to the emergency department in a relatively hypovolemic state. These patients undergo extensive inhospital resuscitation. The effect of posttraumatic resuscitation on aortic diameter has implications for stent graft sizing. The potential utility of repeat aortic imaging after resuscitation remains unclear. A retrospective chart review of all adult patients presenting to a Level I trauma center between the years 2007 and 2013 was performed. Fifty-three patients were identified with a diagnosis of traumatic aortic injury. Of those, 10 had 2 CT scans before aortic repair and were selected as the study population for analysis. After resuscitation, there was a significant increase in aortic diameter both proximal and distal to the aortic injury: proximal aortic diameter increase of 1.97 mm and distal aortic diameter increase of 1.48 mm. This retrospective study shows that after resuscitation, there is a significant increase in proximal and distal aortic diameter. Interval reimaging of the thoracic aorta may be beneficial after adequate stabilization of the patient's other injuries. In certain cases, more appropriate sizing may prevent a device-related complication.

Summary: Background: This study aimed to evaluate the changes in aortic stiffness in young patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) after blunt thoracic aortic injury (TBAI) and to examine the associated cardiovascular complications during follow-up. Patients and methods: We included survivors of TBAI who underwent stent graft placement between November 2009 and November 2019 and gave their consent to participate. Patients with relevant cardiovascular risk factors, comorbidities with potential impact on arterial stiffness, and prior aortic surgical or endovascular interventions were excluded. Fourteen TEVAR patients prospectively underwent clinical and noninvasive examinations and morphological imaging (mean time of follow-up and duration of implanted stent graft: 5.3 ± 1.8 years; mean age: 35.1 ± 8.7 years) and were compared to 14 healthy controls (matched for sex, age, height, and body mass index) in order to evaluate aortic stiffness. During the follow-up examinations, we assessed the pulse wave velocity (PWV; m/s) and development of arterial hypertension or heart failure, as indicated by N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP; pg/mL) levels and performed echocardiography. Results: A significant increase in PWV values was recorded in the TEVAR group (median = 10.1; interquartile range [IQR] = 8.9–11.6) compared to the healthy controls (median = 7.3; IQR = 6.7–8.4), with an increase in the rank mean PWV (+ 3.8; Mann-Whitney U test p < .001). NT-proBNP levels of patients after TEVAR did not vary significantly compared to those of healthy controls (Mann-Whitney U test, p = .154). After TEVAR, five patients developed arterial hypertension during the follow-up, and three of them exhibited diastolic dysfunction. Conclusions: In young patients, TEVAR after TBAI may cause adverse cardiovascular complications due to increased aortic stiffness; therefore, screening for arterial hypertension during follow-up is recommended.
