Stent-graft repair of an aortic rupture caused by invasive hemangiopericytoma.
Ann Thorac Surg. 2006; (6): 2300-2
We describe a patient with a history of hemangiopericytoma, who had hemoptysis develop due to a pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta from an intrathoracic metastasis. Stent-graft repair successfully excluded the aneurysm from the aorta. Transesophageal echocardiography showed to be an important guide for correct placement of the device.
