Blunt traumatic aortic rupture has a scene survival of 2-5% and is present in 20% of all automobile fatalities. The manner in which the forces from a range of thoracic impacts are transduced through the thoracic cavity to produce consistent injury to the aortic isthmus remains uncertain. Our objective was to create and evaluate a computer based finite element (FE) model of the aorta and observe its behavior during blunt traumatic impacts.
