Traumatic aortic rupture is at the present time considered a life-threatening condition that requires emergent surgical intervention. Conventional surgical repair carries a certain risk of mortality and morbidity.

We hereby present the first case of a successful endovascular repair for traumatic aortic rupture in the Taiwan area.
