title: Late complication of thoracic endovascular stent-grafting.
abstract: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has become increasingly popular for the treatment of descending thoracic aortic aneurysms. Despite their proven efficacy and safety, several complications can occur with TEVAR. We report a case of a 76-year-old woman with a late-term complication after TEVAR related to recurrent thyroid cancer and carotid-subclavian revascularization.
