Abstract

Purpose To assess biomechanical factors in aortic arch geometry contributing to the development of non-penetrating aortic arch injury (NAAI) in multiply injured patients with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) >= 16. Material and methods 230 consecutive multiply injured trauma patients with an ISS >= 16 admitted to our Level-I trauma center during a consecutive 24-month period were prospectively ...
