Aortic rupture due to pseudocoarctation caused by migrated stent graft

Özet

Migration of the stent graft is one of the complications of the endovascular aneurysm repair. Sometimes migration might cause fracture of the stent graft. This fracture might be viewed like a coarctation in the computerized tomographic examinations. In this situation, intraluminal aortic pressure of the proximal segment of the aorta will increase and might cause aortic rupture. Herein, we are presenting surgical treatment of the aortic rupture of the aorta, caused by the pseudocarctation of the migrated stent graft 6-year after the endovascular stent graft repair of the abdominal aortic aneurysm.
