Abstract
-
Use of endovascular stent-graft in aortic aneurysm disease is now accepted as an alternative treatment to surgery. We successfully treated two patients with high risk of thoracic aortic aneurysm with percutaneous endovascular stent-graft. Three and ten months follow up chest CT showed obliteration of aneurysm and there was no complication after stent grafting.
