Endovascular versus open surgical repair for blunt thoracic aortic injury.

A best evidence topic in vascular surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether patients with acute traumatic thoracic aortic injury have a better outcome with endovascular or open surgical repair. Altogether, 283 papers were found using the reported search, of which five represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The author, jour...

Aortoesophageal Fistula after Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair of a Mycotic Thoracic Aneurysm

Mycotic aneurysms constitute a small proportion of aortic aneurysms. Endovascular repair of mycotic aneurysms has been applied with good short-term and midterm results. However, the uncommon aortoenteric fistula formation remains a potentially fatal complication when repairing such infective aneurysms. We present the case of an 80-year-old woman with thoracic and abdominal aortic mycotic aneury...
