The Aortic Trauma Foundation (ATF), in collaboration with the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST), has established a centralized, online data reporting platform for Blunt Thoracic Aortic Injuries (BTAI) with the goal to:
establish natural history of BTAI to predict long-term outcomes,
find out predictors of early rupture, and
establish appropriate management guidelines.
BTAI Registry update: April 2024
1,136 subjects have been enrolled in the study by 47 centers from North America and Europe.
