Abstract

Traumatic false aneurysms of the thoracic aorta presenting at a time remote from the original injury are a rare but complex problem. The treatment of a traumatic false aneurysm by endovascular techniques may offer many advantages over conventional open surgery. Two male patients presented with traumatic false aneurysm of the thoracic aorta after being treated emergently for visceral injuries from a gunshot wound in one and an automobile accident in the other. In both cases, the aneurysm was situated so that only the T11 intercostal artery would be sacrificed by endoluminal exclusion. Commercially available endoluminal stent-grafts (Talent) were deployed successfully. Recovery in both patients was rapid and uneventful with no neurological sequelae. Spiral computed tomographic scans at 1 year indicated sustained aneurysm exclusion and satisfactory endograft position. A customized endoluminal stent-graft can be used with great accuracy to exclude thoracic false aneurysms, avoiding the potential complexity and morbidity of an open thoracic approach.
