Thoracic Aorta Aneurysm-Endovascular Aortic Repair
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2015, Vol 8, Issue 7
Abstract
Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is the treatment of choice for patients with descending thoracic aortic aneurysm who are unfit for open surgery. We report a 50-year-old Asian woman who presented with a saccular symptomatic thoracic aortic aneurysm and underwent EVAR with a covered stent with prompt relief of symptoms and no residual complications at 1 year of follow up.
