Survival following ruptures of the thoracic aorta at sites other than the
aortic isthmus is exceedingly rare. Herein we describe a successful outcome
in a 62-year-old woman with ascending and isthmic aortic lacerations
compounded by disruptions of the subclavian-innominate artery junction and
the left vertebral-subclavian junction. Chest wall instability and a
myocardial contusion further complicated her case.
