Crash en parapente : le scanner révèle une BOMBE à retardement

It's a freak but violent accident: a botched paragliding landing, a high-speed impact against a tree. 💥 The shock is so severe that the patient suffers cardiac arrest in the ambulance during evacuation. Resuscitated and stabilized, he arrives at the emergency room... but the danger is invisible. That's where the radiologist's role begins. We initiate the "Body-Scan" protocol to detect all injuries. And the image reveals an absolute emergency: a traumatic rupture of the aorta. The body's largest artery is torn and hanging by a thread. In this adrenaline-pumping video, I'll show you: The Body-Scan protocol for polytrauma patients: we scan everything, very quickly. What a ruptured aorta looks like in 3D (the "false aneurysm"). The incredible repair using an endoprosthesis (accessing the inside of the blood vessels to repair the leak). The follow-up years later: a perfect result. A story with a happy ending thanks to the emergency response chain (ambulance, ER, radiology, surgery)! ABOUT THIS VIDEO It was filmed and edited in Strasbourg in December 2025. The information I present is the most up-to-date based on my knowledge at the time. WHO AM I? Professor Mickaël Ohana, Professor of Radiology at the University Hospital of Strasbourg (France). I am a radiologist specializing in cardiovascular and diagnostic thoracic imaging. My specific area of ​​expertise is cardiac, thoracic, and vascular cross-sectional imaging (CT and MRI), for which I received training through two fellowships: 1/ one in Strasbourg, France (2011-2013) in thoracic imaging, 2/ and a second in Vancouver, Canada (2016-2017) in cardiac imaging. As a radiologist, I also provide on-call services and therefore perform emergency examinations for all patients. Having the privilege of working in a university hospital, we see exceptional and instructive cases every day, which I try to share with you. As an academic, I am also involved in research and teaching. Those interested can find the complete and up-to-date list of my scientific publications here: vu.fr/ohana WHY DO I MAKE VIDEOS? I'm passionate about radiology, and unfortunately, the central role of radiology and radiologists is still largely unknown, especially outside of hospitals. Similarly, our specialty is evolving at lightning speed, and new indications and possibilities are emerging very regularly. The goal is to share educational cases, articles, lectures, and thought-provoking material with you to highlight the radiologist's role and draw attention to new options in radiology. In short, to share knowledge with as many people as possible, from doctors to the simply curious: for a visual specialty like radiology, YouTube is the best platform!
