Endovascular repair of a complex ulcer of the descending thoracic aorta

Introduction:Penetrating aortic ulcer is a focal lesion that develops in the region of an atheromatous plaque that penetrates the internal elastic lamina of the vascular wall.It can occur in any of the aortic segments and is the rarest entity of acute aortic syndrome, also composed of aortic dissection and intramural hematoma.Case presentation: It may be present together or isolated with dissection and intramural aortic hematoma, which, if not treated adequately and correctly, compromises the life of those who suffer from it.Conclusion: The study aimed to demonstrate the benefits of endovascular repair of the components of acute aortic syndrome: aortic ulcer and intramural hematoma.
