Background: High levels of catecholamines are cardiotoxic and associated with stress-induced cardiomyopathies. Septic patients are routinely exposed to endogenously released and exogenously administered catecholamines, which may alter cardiac function and perfusion causing ischemia. Early during human septic shock, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decreases but normalizes in survivors over 7-10 days.

Perforation of the duodenum after trauma has a low incidence and its coincidence with BTAI is very rare. The clinical condition of the patient is very important for deciding the treatment priority. In this patient, considering the stable condition and degree of aorta injury, we chose TEVAR before laparotomy.

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is widespread. We report a case of graft migration and dissecting aneurysm rupture after trauma. An 82-year-old man with a history of TEVARs for chronic type B aortic dissection had sudden dyspnea and hemoptysis after falling from a stationary bicycle.

: Rib fractures are common in patients with trauma, and patients with multiple rib fractures often require surgical stabilization. Because rib fractures may occur at different sites along the ribs, the technical approach to surgical stabilization varies. Here, we present a case of posterior rib fractures with multiple paraspinal fragmented rib segments that were successfully treated with costovertebral plate fixation.

Endovascular repair of aortic injuries secondary to blunt trauma has been widely described. However, literature on endovascular management in penetrating aortic injuries is scarce. The patient in this case report, a victim of penetrating thoracic aortic trauma, presented 5 days after injury with Brown-Sequard syndrome and a contained aortic injury (pseudoaneurysm) and was haemodynamically stable.
