Abstract
- An association has been reported between Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and necrotizing vasculitis and aneurysmal arterial dilatation. We present here the first endovascular repair of descending thoracic aortic aneurysm in a 35-year-old male patient with the classical Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome phenotype. He had a successful endovascular repair with early discharge from hospital with no postoperative complications. His 1-year follow-up computed tomography scan confirmed appropriate stent position, aneurysm sac resolution with no evidence of endoleak, and no further aneurysm formation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
