Endovascular Reconstruction of a New Aortoiliac Bifurcation to Manage a Ruptured Thoracoabdominal Pseudoaneurysm in a Marfan Patient

Traditional open surgical repair for aortic rupture from a thoracoabdominal pseudoaneurysm is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. The use of advanced intravascular imaging and endovascular techniques permits selection and customizing endoluminal graft components to treat such catastrophic events in high-risk surgical patients. We report the successful management of a ruptured thoracoabdominal pseudoaneurysm with an endovascular approach. doi: 10.1111/j. 1540-8191.2008.00617.x (J Card Surg 2008;23:725-726)
