Emergent Treatment of a Ruptured Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm by Off-Label Rescue Implantation of the Ovation Stent Graft in Nonagenarian Patients.

We report a case of a compassionate treatment of a ruptured thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm in a 92-year-old patient. The patient was admitted to our emergency department for acute onset of pain irradiating to the back. Computed tomography angiography showed the presence of a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm with a contained rupture at infrarenal level. Given the presence of a relative healthy visceral aorta, we decided to treat the patient by Ovation (Endologix, Irvine, CA) implantation in an off-label fashion. Procedure was performed by bilateral percutaneous access. Completion angiography showed the good stent-graft apposition with complete aneurysm exclusion. The patient was discharged on the third postoperative day. The 1-month follow-up confirmed the good procedural result; aneurysm was completely excluded without further thoracic dilatation.
