Abstract

Even with the endovascular repair, these patients have considerably high mortality. On the other hand the diagnosis and the prognosis of aortic transection has been continously improving. 
 Furthermore the treatment requires a combination of pharmacological and surgical techniques and the endovascular treatment playing a very important role in definitive repair. 
 In this report we present a patient who is admitted to the ER after an in-vehicle car accident.
 The possibility of aortic injury should always be considered in cases admitted to hospital due to trauma, and if there is any suspicion, necessary examinations should be performed also cardiovascular surgeon should be consulted immediately.
