Case 2

The patient underwent endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) with a previous unilateral hypogastric embolization. The contralateral hypogastric artery was embolized due to type Ib endoleak a few years later. Afterward, the patient underwent total arch repair without the left subclavian reconstruction. The stent graft was implanted in the whole descending thoracic aorta. Results revealed no hypogastric artery, no left subclavian artery, and no intercostal artery after TEVAR, and the patient developed no SCI.

TEVAR: thoracic endovascular aortic repair

SCI: spinal cord injury
