Tuberculous False Aneurysm of the Aortic Isthmus Treated Using Stent Grafts.

Tuberculous aortic aneurysms are rare. Localization in the isthmus of the aorta is still exceptional. It often presents as a false aneurysm, which exposes to the risk of rupture, whatever the size of the aneurysm, and worsens the prognosis. The treatment of reference relies on surgery in association with antituberculosis treatment. The endovascular approach with stent grafts can be an alternative as presented in this case report, in which traditional surgery was judged to be at risk in a nonagenarian patient.
