Pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta: Endovascular treatment, a case report

Abstract

Pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta is a not frequent pathology that puts the patient’s life at risk. Next, the case of a female patient is presented. She is eighty years old, and comes to the hospital because of a recently appeared left-axillary tumor mass. The imaging studies performed resulted in the diagnosis of a giant pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta. Given the conditions of the patient and the pathology, it was decided to solve the case via the endovascular route.
