Aortic polyaneurysmal disease: case report

J Thorac Dis. 2017 May;9(Suppl 6):S544-S546. doi: 10.21037/jtd.2017.04.20.

Abstract

We report a 78-year-old man who presents progression of his aneurysmatic pathology with previous abdominal infrarenal aortic surgery 20 years later. The computed tomography (CT) scan showed proximal degeneration of the infrarenal aorta, left iliac aneurysm and a new descending thoracic aneurysm close to the aortic arch. The surgical treatment was staged in two times due to the evolution of the aneurysm measures. First, the thoracic and the infrarenal aneurysms were covered each one with endoprosthesis. Four years later the iliac disease was solved with a branched specific iliac endograft.
