    AbstractTraumatic aortic rupture of the thoracic aorta (usually at the isthmus) is frequently associated with concomitant life-threatening injuries. Historically, the conventional care consisted of surgical repair of the lesion performed as soon as possible. However, in spite of constant technical improvements the morbi-mortality remains high because of these associated lesions. In addition, their management can have priority and delay aortic surgery. The endovascular approach has been shown to be a feasible and efficient technique and currently represents a valuable alternative to open surgery for patients with multiple traumas. We report a patient presenting with a traumatic aortic rupture of the aortic isthmus, which was successfully treated by delayed combined endovascular (thoracic aortic stentgrafting) and open approach (hemiaortic arch debranching).
