In patients with acute blunt traumatic aortic injury, aortic diameter is significantly smaller by about 10% under shock and is not considered a basis for oversizing the currently implemented 120% thoracic endovascular aortic repair graft sizing. However, in young patients under the age of 40, the change is significantly large and subsequent computed tomography follow-up is required.
