A Successful Thoracic Endovascular Repair for Pseudocoarctation of the Aorta

Abstract

49-year-old man with a descending thoracic dilatation associated with pseudocoarctation of the aorta underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) . Computed tomography demonstrated kinking of the descending thoracic aorta. The aortic dilatation was located distal to a kinking and constricting aortic isthmus. TEVAR was performed because of the patient’s history of the cardiac surgery. Debranched TEVAR was successfully performed, occurring slight migration of the stent graft.
