We present a patient affected by systemic hydatidosis with an unusual localization in the thoracic aorta. The pseudoaneurysm, which was treated 8 years ago with conventional surgery, was retreated with an endovascular procedure. The particular evolution of the pathology needed further endovascular intervention. Endovascular exclusion is not the final solution of the disease but protects against rupture of the vessel and systemic dissemination of the disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
