[False aneurysm appearing 20 years after repair of a subisthmic stenosis of the thoracic aorta (author's transl)].
A patient with atypical subisthmic stenosis of the thoracic aorta was treated by resection of the constriction and reconstruction with a Dacron prosthesis. Clinical recovery lasted for 20 years but the appearance of a false aneurysm required further operative intervention. The etiology of atypical stenoses, the resisting properties of Dacron prostheses, and the formation of false aneurisms are discussed.
