Abstract
- Endovascular stent grafting is regarded as a promising alternative approach to open surgical repair for treating various aortic diseases in high risk patients. We report here on a case of a 79-year-old female who underwent endovascular stent-graft insertion in the ascending aorta for treating a complicated ascending aortic rupture that occurred secondary to radiation necrosis during the treatment of recurrent breast cancer.
