Case Reports[Acute traumatic thoracic aortic rupture in double localisation].
Traumatic thoracic aortic rupture are commonly localised in one site essentially in the aortic isthmus but multiple localisation are not uncommon. The authors reported the case of a young man who had a double localisation of RTA after a violent car accident. ⋯ The systematic analysis of the whole thoracic aortic vessel is crucial to not misdiagnose eventual multiple aortic rupture.
