Abstract

This study was undertaken to determine the incidence and spectrum of “equivocal” findings on thoracic aortography performed: (a) to exclude traumatic aortic injury (TAI), and (b) to identify radiologic signs that might be useful in increasing diagnostic confidence. All cases of thoracic aortography performed during a 5-year period to evaluate possible major thoracic arterial injury were identified. Those with atypical or uncertain results were reviewed by the authors, and medical records were analyzed to determine initial diagnosis, management course, and clinical outcome.
