Thoracic stent graft placement for repair of iatrogenic aortic injury secondary to sheath placement during pacemaker insertion.

Author
Abstract
:

We describe the inadvertent cannulation of the proximal descending thoracic aortic stent with a five French sheath during attempted pacemaker placement in an 88- year-old male. The injury was managed successfully by the percutaneous placement of a thoracic aortic stent graft with good outcome. Our case highlights the feasibility of managing this uncommon injury with this technique.
