Abstract
A 21-year-old male involved in a motorcycle crash presented with abdominal hemorrhage and a widened mediastinum on chest radiograph. He required an initial exploratory laparotomy for mesenteric injuries. An aortic injury was confirmed on computed tomography imaging and he subsequently underwent attempted endovascular repair. During that procedure, the patient experienced massive thoracic hemorrhage with cardiac arrest and profound respiratory failure. Damage-control thoracic surgery and rescue extracorporeal membrane oxygenation were successfully utilized with a favorable outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
