  • Title: Endovascular repair of descending thoracic aortic aneurysm in patient with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome.
    Author: Makar RR, Gordins P, Spickett G, Williams R, Lambert D.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2013 Nov; 58(5):1385-7. PubMed ID: 23643280.
    Abstract:
    An association has been reported between Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and necrotizing vasculitis and aneurysmal arterial dilatation. We present here the first endovascular repair of descending thoracic aortic aneurysm in a 35-year-old male patient with the classical Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome phenotype. He had a successful endovascular repair with early discharge from hospital with no postoperative complications. His 1-year follow-up computed tomography scan confirmed appropriate stent position, aneurysm sac resolution with no evidence of endoleak, and no further aneurysm formation.
