Presentation Of Case:
We report a rare case of tuberculous thoracic aortic pseudo aneurysm, successfully treated endovascularly associated to antituberculosis drugs.
Discussion:
Classically TB pseudoaneurisms have been treated with open surgical therapy.however, they are associated to high morbidity and mortaity with increased lenghts of hospital stay. Due to advancements of endovascular technology, it be cames a good and successful alternative as a treatment, with a background of medical treatment.
Conclusion:
Thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) associated to anti-tuberculosis medication have revolutionized the management and improved the prognosis of this pathology.
