Article: Endovascular stent graft treatment of leaking thoracic aortic tuberculous pseudoaneurysm.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is one of the leading causes of death from communicable diseases worldwide. However, the incidence of leaking thoracic aortic tuberculous pseudoaneurysms is rare as a complication. Conventional treatment of a leaking tuberculous pseudoaneurysm involves surgery with graft interposition or patch repair. With the emergence of stent graft treatment as a viable option for leaking pseudoaneurysms, we report a 63-year-old man who had his leaking toracic aortic tuberculous pseudoaneurysm treated with endovascular stent grafting.Singapore medical journal 08/2007; 48(7):e193-5. · 0.73 Impact Factor
