- W2023874908 abstract "Traumatic disruption of the thoracic aorta is an injury that is rapidly fatal if not recognized and treated early. Increasingly, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is being used to evaluate the thoracic aorta after trauma with reported sensitivity and specificity rates of up to 100%. To confirm these results, we instituted a protocol using TEE as the initial diagnostic study for excluding a ruptured thoracic aorta in patients with widened mediastinum. All TEE studies were done by experienced cardiologists; 96% were done in the trauma receiving area. TEE studies were classified as positive, negative, or indeterminant. Indeterminant studies were those in which the diagnosis of aortic injury could not be excluded based solely on TEE findings. Because we were interested in using TEE as a definitive diagnostic modality, indeterminant studies were regarded as positive for our analysis. This protocol was used in 114 trauma patients over a 3-year period. TEE identified five thoracic aortic disruptions--three confirmed by aortography and two by thoracotomy. TEE was read as indeterminant in 17 patients and further investigation with aortography showed no aortic injury in these patients. TEE was negative in 89 patients who had no further evaluation and were subsequently discharged or who died from other injuries. TEE failed to reveal significant lesions in three patients who had aortograms that revealed disruptions requiring thoracotomy. The use of TEE for the definitive diagnosis of ruptured aorta in this series yields a sensitivity of 63% and a specificity of 84%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)" @default.
