  • Title: Aortic arch rupture after multiple multilayer stent treatment of a thoracoabdominal aneurysm.
    Author: Ferrero E, Gibello L, Ferri M, Viazzo A, Nessi F.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2014 Nov; 60(5):1348-1352. PubMed ID: 24199766.
    Abstract:
    Despite the improvement in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, the treatment of thoracoabdominal aneurysms is still burdened with a high incidence of peri/postoperative morbidity and mortality. The multilayer flow modulator is a new and promising technique for the treatment of such disease; however, some limits are still evident. We report the case of a 76-year-old woman affected by a symptomatic thoracoabdominal aneurysm treated with multiple Cardiatis multilayer flow modulators complicated by aortic arch rupture on the fifth postoperative day, with subsequent patient death.
