[Diagnosis of posttraumatic ruptures of the thoracic aorta in the full chest x-ray and in angiography].
In the diagnosis of acute and chronic posttraumatic false aneurysms of the thoracic aorta the importance of imaging methods can't be overemphasized, especially, since clinical signs often are of no help. The findings in plain films and angiography in 17 patients with posttraumatic aortic rupture are described and discussed. The importance of angiography is stressed.
