Traumatic aortic injury with stent graft implantation. A 49-year-old male patient presented with aortic trauma after a motor vehicle accident. An aortic transection with a grade 3 lesion of the proximal descending aorta (a) and accompanying mediastinal haematoma (b) is seen on a para-sagittal reformation. CTA and DSA demonstrate patency of both vertebral arteries. More pronounced pseudoaneurysm formation prior to stent graft placement and exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm after stent graft placement (e) over the left subclavian artery (arrowhead) that is still filling during control angiography
