Abstract:
Concurrent thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm is
uncommon. It remains a formidable surgical challenge to
vascular surgeons, as decision to treat in staged or
simultaneous setting still debatable. We present, here, a
case of a 62-year-old-man with asymptomatic concurrent
thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms, which was
successfully treated with two-stage hybrid endovascular
repair. The aim of this case report is to discuss the
treatment options available, possible associated
complications and measures to prevent them.
