  • Title: Emergency stent-grafting for patients over 85 years of age with thoracic aortic rupture.
    Author: Morishita K, Kurimoto Y, Kawaharada N, Osawa H, Maeda T, Abe T.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2007 Apr; 15(2):e25-7. PubMed ID: 17387182.
    Abstract:
    Conventional open repairs of thoracic aortic ruptures carry a high mortality and morbidity in patients over 85 years of age. Less invasive procedures may therefore be required to treat such elderly patients. An 87-year-old woman and 92-year-old man who had undergone emergency endovascular stent-grafting for thoracic aortic ruptures survived to discharge, despite critical conditions on admission.
