  • Title: Endovascular stent-graft repair for spontaneous rupture of the nonaneurysmal thoracic aorta in a patient with Takayasu's arteritis.
    Author: Yoshida M, Mukohara N, Ozaki N, Mizoguchi K, Shida T.
    Journal: Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg; 2008 Mar; 35(3):306-9. PubMed ID: 17913519.
    Abstract:
    Takayasu's arteritis is a disease of unknown etiology with a constellation of clinical findings primarily resulting from stenotic lesions on the aorta and its branches. Although aneurysmal degeneration is observed frequently in patients with Takayasu's arteritis, non-aneurysmal spontaneous aortic rupture is extremely rare. We report a case of endovascular stent grafting for spontaneous rupture of a non-aneurysmal thoracic aorta in Takayasu's arteritis.
