OBJECTIVE: One-year outcomes of the RESCUE trial (endovascular aortic repair using Valiant Captivia for blunt @entity764 ) are reported. METHODS: RESCUE is a prospective, nonrandomized, multicenter trial. Fifty @entity1 with blunt @entity764 were enrolled between April 2010 and January 2012. One-year outcomes included secondary procedures, device-, procedure-, and/or aorta-related adverse events, and all-cause mortality. RESULTS: Mean @entity1 age was 40.7    17.4 years; 76% of @entity1 were male. Fifty-two thoracic stent grafts were implanted within a median of 1 day of injury. Seventy percent (35 of 50) of aortic injuries were grade III or higher, including 1 free @entity397 . The mean Injury Severity Score was 37.6    14.3. Vascular access, device delivery, and deployment were successful in all @entity1 . The left subclavian artery was completely covered in 40% (20 of 50) and partially covered in 18% of @entity1 (9 of 50). There were no @entity64 or @entity1566 . Median procedure time was 90.5 minutes; median hospital stay was 11 days. All-cause mortality within 1 year was 12%. There were no conversions to open repair. Four @entity1 (8%) had subclavian artery revascularization; 1 preoperatively; 3 others postoperatively on days 8, 36, and 103. There were no device-related adverse events. During follow-up, 1 @entity1 (2%) had aortic-related and 9 @entity1 (18%) had procedure-related adverse events. CONCLUSIONS: TEVAR has favorable early midterm outcomes in the treatment of blunt @entity764 , and remains the treatment modality of choice. Longevity of the stent grafts in this young @entity1 population has yet to be established.
