A 25-year-old woman committed suicide with a high-rise fall and presented hypovolemic shock caused by blunt thoracic, abdominal injury. Enhanced computed tomography scan showed the pelvic hemorrhage and the transection of the descending thoracic aorta. After urgent transcatheter arterial embolization to stabilize bleeding from pelvic fracture, the thoracic aortic injury was treated with endovascular aortic repair using a GORE TAG endograft. She recovered from her injuries, and there was no evidence of endoleak in the follow-up computed tomography scan. In the treatment of traumatic aortic injury with associated severe injuries, the management of bleeding from associated injuries is important.
