  • Title: False aneurysm formation at proximal and distal ends of a stent graft: a rare complication in the repair of endovascular thoracic aortic aneurysm.
    Author: Nishibe T, Muto A, Kondo Y, Sato M, Ando M.
    Journal: Int Angiol; 2006 Jun; 25(2):228-30. PubMed ID: 16763544.
    Abstract:
    This case report demonstrates a rare complication of false aneurysm formation at the proximal and distal ends of a stent graft that was placed in the descending thoracic aorta to repair an atherosclerotic aneurysm with a fibrotic, solid aortic wall. This complication can develop not only in penetrating aortic ulcers and aortic dissections but also in atherosclerotic aneurysms.
