TL;DR: SG is associated with significantly lower mortality and fewer blood transfusions, but there is a considerable risk of serious device-related complications, and a major and urgent need for improvement of the available endovascular devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factor VIIa for correction of traumatic coagulopathy.
Richard P. Dutton,Maureen McCunn,Mary Hyder,Matthew D'Angelo,James V. O’Connor,John R. Hess,Thomas M. Scalea +6 more
TL;DR: FVIIa therapy lead to an immediate reduction in coagulopathic hemorrhage in most cases, accompanied by a significant improvement in laboratory measures, and Prospective trials of FVIIa in patients with traumatic coagULopathy are strongly indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Comparisons between the two AAST studies in 1997 and 2007 showed a major shift in the diagnosis of the aortic injury, with the widespread use of CT scan and the almost complete elimination of aortography and TEE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blunt traumatic thoracic aortic injuries: early or delayed repair--results of an American Association for the Surgery of Trauma prospective study.
Demetrios Demetriades,George C. Velmahos,Thomas M. Scalea,Gregory J. Jurkovich,Riyad Karmy-Jones,Pedro G.R. Teixeira,Mark R. Hemmila,James V. O’Connor,Mark McKenney,Forrest O. Moore,Jason A.

TL;DR: Delayed repair of stable blunt TAI is associated with improved survival, irrespective of the presence or not of major associated injuries, however, delayed repair isassociated with a longer length of ICU stay and in the group of patients with no major associated injury a significantly higher complication rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Joseph J. DuBose,Kenji Inaba,Demetrios Demetriades,Thomas M. Scalea,James V. O’Connor,Jay Menaker,Carlos Morales,Agathoklis Konstantinidis,Anthony Shiflett,Ben Copwood +9 more
TL;DR: RH in trauma is associated with high rates of empyema and pneumonia, and VATS can be performed with high success rates, although optimal timing is unknown.
