Case report: endovascular repair of a thoracic aortic aneurysm (saccular type) with a stent-graft.

چکیده
We describe the repair of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm (saccular type, maximal size 85 mm) with an endovascular stent-graft in a 69-year-old man with chronic renal failure. The graft consisted of a self-expanding Z-stent covered with a woven polyester graft. An angiogram obtained intraoperatively showed complete thrombosis of the aneurysm. One month after the procedure, a contrast-enhanced computed tomographic (CT) scan showed thrombosis of the aneurysmal sac. A follow-up CT scan obtained 18 months after operation confirmed that the aneurysm had disappeared.

Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...
