J Trauma 2006]. While the majority of patients dies at the scene of the accident, the prognosis for those who initially survive remains dire, with 90% of deaths occurring within 4 months post-aortic transection. This article presents management strategies for TAT.</style></abstract><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume></record></records></xml>
