Abstract

Pediatric major thoracic vascular trauma is a rare occurrence, with the majority of cases being related to blunt trauma to the chest. We present a hybrid management of a 13-year-old boy who was stabbed with a knife, resulting in an injury to the descending thoracic aorta. The patient was managed using a thoracic endovascular aortic repair technique (using a 24 mm × 82 mm iliac limb stent). There were no major complications encountered intraoperatively or postoperatively.
