Abstract

We present an interesting case of a patient who underwent initial open repair of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm in 1996, who subsequently had a pseudo-aneurysm that arose from his prosthetic graft, which was repaired with open surgery in 1998. He then developed a second pseudo-aneurysm with an aortobronchial fistula. This was successfully treated with an endovascular stent graft in 1999. The patient has survived 10years after this procedure.
