    Abstract:
    A 68-year-old male patient presented with massive hematemesis following the acute rupture of an aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta into the esophagus. In view of the important cardiac and pulmonary comorbidities, surgical treatment was excluded and successful percutaneous implantation of an endovascular stent-graft in the descending aorta was performed. In selected patients endovascular treatment may constitute an alternative to the surgical repair of ruptured aortic aneurysms.
