A Case of Blunt Ascending Aorta Injury Due to Local Chest Trauma Caused by an Electric Sander

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

Key Points

To describe a rare case of traumatic Stanford type A aortic dissection arising from blunt ascending aortic injury following localized anterior chest impact from an electric sander.
Clinical evaluation of a 69-year-old male referred after direct anterior chest trauma caused by an electric sander.
Contrast-enhanced computed tomography and urgent surgical exploration were performed to confirm the vascular diagnosis and repair the lesion.
Contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated Stanford type A aortic dissection, an ulcer-like projection adjacent to the sinotubular junction, and pericardial effusion.
Surgical exploration revealed no sharp injury to the aortic adventitia but identified an intimal tear traversing the anterior half of the sinotubular junction.
The patient was successfully treated with prosthetic graft replacement of the ascending aorta.

Implication

Case report reports traumatic Stanford type A aortic dissection in a patient with direct chest trauma, highlighting blunt vascular injury risks.
