Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <sec id="jocs12162-sec-0001" sec-type="section"> <p>Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been used for traumatic and acute spontaneous rupture of the descending thoracic aorta with good results. We present the case of a 40‐year‐old male whose thoracic spinal prosthesis eroded through the descending thoracic aorta; the aortic disruption was successfully managed with emergent deployment of an endovascular stent. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12162 <italic>(J Card Surg 2013;28:561–563)</italic></p> </sec> </abstract>
