Aortic Transection

Thoracic trauma accounts for nearly 25% of deaths secondary to blunt trauma. The most common chest injury is a rib fracture, which can be associated with a mortality risk as high as 35%. Other injuries include pneumothorax, hemothorax, esophageal injury, aortic transection, blunt cardiac injury, tracheobronchial disruption, and pulmonary contusion. The majority of thoracic injuries can be treated successfully with either observation or tube thoracostomy and general supportive care alone. Independent contributors to mortality include inadequate pain control, poor pulmonary hygiene, failure to intubate appropriately, and excessive crystalloid-based resuscitation.   This review contains 3 figures, 5 tables and 64 references Key words: aorta, bronchus, esophagus, hemothorax, pneumothorax, pulmonary contusion, rib fracture, thoracic, trachea, tracheobronchial

A four year old girl was diagnosed as a case of mid muscular Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) since early infancy. She had history of failure to thrive (FTT) and recurrent chest infection or pneumonia. As her pulmonary artery pressure was almost normal she was planned for device closure on elective basis once device and technology would be available in cardiac centre of combined Military Hospital (CMH) Dhaka. Finally it was done on 21st August 2005 and patient was discharged after 72 hours observation period. Echocardiography on next morning showed complete occlusion of defect with no residual shunt.
