title: Successful exclusion of descending thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm by endovascular stent-graft placement.
abstract: Endograft Stenting for contained rupture in descending thoracic aorta has not been reported in the past. We successfully deployed a 28 mm long AneuRx cuff, percutaneously to exclude the descending thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm in a 62-year-old patient with inoperable retroperitoneal malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
