Abstract:
This case study describes an 83-year-old man with a history of total arch replacement and frozen elephant trunk (FET) insertion for an aortic arch aneurysm presented with hemoptysis. Computed tomography revealed aneurysmal expansion; however, no obvious endoleaks were detected. The thoracic endovascular aortic repair was performed by deploying two stent grafts to cover the entire FET. Postoperatively, the hemoptysis resolved, and computed tomography revealed a reduction in the aneurysm size. Even in cases where no obvious contrast inflow is detected, it is necessary to suspect an occult endoleak if symptoms such as hemoptysis appear.
