Fig 2 Evolution of injury following grade I-II blunt aortic injury (BAI). Between the time of injury and last follow-up imaging, 55% of patients demonstrated complete injury resolution, 40% had stable injuries, and 5% of patients developed injury progression to higher injury grade.

Fig 3 Mean heart rate (HR) (A) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) (B) between the time of injury and last follow-up imaging in patients with injury resolution, stable injuries, and injury progression after grade I-II blunt aortic injury (BAI). The mean HR is significantly lower in patients with injury resolution compared with stable injuries (*P = .01).
