Fig 1 A 56-year female with atherosclerotic thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm undergoing successful stent-graft implantation. (A) Plain CT scan showed soft tissue shadow around the descending aorta; (B) CTA showed the presence of pseudoaneurysm of the descending aorta; (C) Posterior-anterior descending aortic angiogram demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm of the descending aorta; (D) Left anterior oblique thoracic aorta angiogram after stent graft implantation showed complete exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm; (E) Follow-up CTA showed complete thrombosis of the pseudoaneurysm.
