Abstract

In 2016, Saudi Arabia had the highest death rate associated with road injuries of any high-income country, at an estimated 28.8 per 100,000 person, with a total count of fatalities at 9031. Blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) is the second leading cause of death from trauma. To the best of our knowledge, no series of BTAI and treatment outcomes from Saudi Arabia has been reported. We report our experience of a strategy of delayed treatment in the management BTAI from 2016 to 2021 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
