Purpose: To report the emergency repair of a traumatic abdominal aortic rupture using endoluminal techniques. Methods and Results: A 25-year-old female sustained multiple head, chest, and abdominal injuries in a motorcycle accident. Six days after emergency treatment (including splenectomy and repair of a superficial hepatic rupture and lacerations to the stomach, small bowel, and colon), she became hemodynamically unstable. A massive retroperitoneal hematoma had evolved from a distal aortic rupture. Owing to a hostile abdomen and possibility of bacterial contamination, a self-expanding stent-graft was inserted transfemorally to repair the aortic injury. The patient recovered uneventfully and continues in good health with a patent endograft repair 2 years after treatment. Conclusions: This experience would support the efficacy of endograft implantation for emergent repair of trauma aortic injuries; however, proper facilities, an experienced interventional team, and an assortment of endografts and stents must be available.

Swallow Function

Lung cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers across Northern America and Europe. Treatment options offered are dependent on the type of cancer, the location of the tumor, the staging, and the overall health of the person. When surgery for lung cancer is offered, difficulty swallowing is a potential complication that can have several influencing factors. Surgical interaction with the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) can lead to unilateral vocal cord palsy, altering swallow function and safety. Understanding whether the RLN has been preserved, damaged, or sacrificed is integral to understanding the effect on the swallow and the subsequent treatment options available. There is also the risk of post-surgical reduction of physiological reserve, which can reduce the strength and function of the swallow in addition to any surgery specific complications. As lung cancer has a limited prognosis, the clinician must also factor in the palliative phase, as this can further increase the burden of an already compromised swallow. By understanding the surgery and the implications this may have for the swallow, there is the potential to reduce the impact of post-surgical complications and so improve quality of life (QOL) for people with lung cancer.
