In this 2024 Update Course Rewind, pediatric surgeons Drs. Regan Williams and Katie Russell share new updates on the management of thoracic aortic injuries. Classified as a “Black Diamond” practice—indicating unproven approaches for early adopters—this session reviews how Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) is emerging as a less invasive and effective treatment option in pediatric patients, especially adolescents.

Host: Lizzy Lee, PA-C

Key Takeaways:

  • Thoracic aortic injuries in children are rare and can be easily missed—maintain a high index of suspicion.

  • Collaboration with vascular surgeons or interventional radiologists is essential for optimal care.
