Successful outcomes rely on accurate endograft sizing, but initial imaging may underestimate aortic diameters. This study examines the impact of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) on endograft sizing and clinical outcomes in BTAI patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A prospectively collected multi-institutional dataset from the Aortic Trauma Foundation was analyzed. Patients with BTAI undergoing TEVAR with IVUS were compared to patients who underwent TEVAR alone. Demographics and operative variables were compared, focusing on IVUS effects on endograft sizing by examining maximal proximal and distal aortic diameter on initial CT imaging compared to the graft diameters used during TEVAR.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>293 patients underwent TEVAR for BTAI with IVUS utilized in 124 cases (42.3%). The average graft size in the IVUS and non-IVUS groups were similar proximally (26.91 \u00b1 4.3\u00a0mm IVUS vs 27.77 \u00b1 4.7\u00a0mm non-IVUS, P = 0.116) and distally (25.96 \u00b1 4.7\u00a0mm IVUS vs 26.51 \u00b1 4.7\u00a0mm non-IVUS). IVUS did not impact the difference between graft size and initial CT measurements proximally (4.32 \u00b1 4.8\u00a0mm IVUS vs 4.23 \u00b1 3.9\u00a0mm non-IVUS, P = 0.859) or distally (4.17 \u00b1 5.9\u00a0mm IVUS vs 4.50 \u00b1 4.3\u00a0mm non-IVUS, P = 0.606). Although delayed hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke occurred less frequently in IVUS patients (0.8% IVUS vs 7.1% non- IVUS, P = 0.024), in-hospital mortality was similar between groups (5.6% IVUS vs 7.7% non-IVUS, P = 0.581).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>IVUS is not associated with significant changes in endograft sizing compared to sizing based on CT scan alone in BTAI patients. IVUS was not associated with differences in mortality but was associated with a decrease in delayed hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. Routine IVUS in BTAI patients may not be necessary for accurate sizing, but there may be a relationship between IVUS and stroke.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/15385744241264790","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]],"date-time":"2024-06-25T12:19:10Z","timestamp":1719317950000},"page":"742-746","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Intravascular Ultrasound May Not Impact Graft Sizing in Endovascular Repair of Blunt Thoracic Aortic Injury"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"58","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-6411-8297","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alec","family":"Falkenhain","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Saint Louis University, St. Louis, MO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5929-8508","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicholas","family":"Schaper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Saint Louis University, St. Louis, MO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1883-501X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tyler","family":"Arismendi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Saint Louis University, St. Louis, MO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew R","family":"Smeds","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Saint Louis University, St. Louis, MO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saideep","family":"Bose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Saint Louis University, St. Louis, MO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-15385744241264790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/tsaco-2021-000678"},{"key":"bibr2-15385744241264790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.23736\/s0021-9509.20.11580-5"},{"key":"bibr3-15385744241264790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.avsg.2018.12.094"},{"key":"bibr4-15385744241264790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/cir.0000000000001106"},{"key":"bibr5-15385744241264790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.avsg.2017.11.056"},{"key":"bibr6-15385744241264790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2014.10.014"},{"key":"bibr7-15385744241264790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2021.08.061"},{"key":"bibr8-15385744241264790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1583\/07-2215.1"},{"key":"bibr9-15385744241264790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2010.09.059"},{"key":"bibr10-15385744241264790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2010.02.256"},{"key":"bibr11-15385744241264790","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2017.03.445"}],"container-title":["Vascular and Endovascular Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/15385744241264790","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/15385744241264790","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/15385744241264790","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,2]],"date-time":"2026-05-02T06:35:13Z","timestamp":1777703713000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/15385744241264790"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/15385744241264790"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/15385744241264790","relation":{},"ISSN":["1538-5744","1938-9116"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1538-5744","type":"print"},{"value":"1938-9116","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]]}}}
