title: Iatrogenic Aortic Transection in a Child.
abstract: The accepted treatment for aortic injury has been repair of the injury as soon as possible. Delayed repair is not generally fruitful, but in our case report, delay in the repair of a ligated and transected abdominal aorta is safe and has a potential positive impact on survival and vascular stability/integrity. This case seems worth reporting.
