Elective Endovascular Stent-Graft Implantation for External Iliac Artery Injury after Blunt Pelvic Trauma
JOURNAL OF NIPPON MEDICAL SCHOOL(2022)
摘要
External iliac artery (EIA) injuries caused by blunt trauma are rare. Here, we describe a blunt EIA injury after a motorbike accident suffered by a 16-year-old male. Despite conservative treatment, intermittent claudication persisted. He was successfully treated by elective endovascular stent-graft implantation on day 59 after the injury. Ankle-brachial index (ABI) improved, as did his symptoms. A contrast enhanced computed tomography scan on postoperative day 90 showed no residual stenosis and favorable peripheral blood flow. This report suggests that elective endovascular stent-graft implantation might be a viable treatment option for blunt EIA injuries. (J Nippon Med Sch 2022; 89: 342?346)
