  • Title: Acute Occlusion of Descending Thoracic Aorta.
    Author: Battocchio C, Dezi T, D'Andrea A, Taurino M, Rizzo L.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2019 Oct; 60():477.e15-477.e19. PubMed ID: 31200033.
    Abstract:
    Acute aortic occlusion is a rare but potentially devastating clinical event, which requires a prompt diagnosis and emergency treatment. Only 5 cases of native thoracic aorta acute occlusion have so far been reported with different pathologic causes. The clinical features depend on the level of occlusion. Sometimes the diagnosis could be misinterpreted as a stroke or other diseases of the central nervous system. This could lead to a delay in the diagnosis and revascularization procedure, followed by a morbidity or mortality increase. Open surgery has been considered the first-line approach. This study is of a female patient suffering from acute descending thoracic aorta occlusion undergoing, for the first time to our knowledge, endovascular surgical treatment.
