Abstract

Purpose: To report the endovascular management of a rare ruptured intercostal artery aneurysm. Case Report: A 45-year-old man presented with acute upper back and chest pain. Computed tomography of the chest revealed a ruptured intercostal artery aneurysm. The lesion was treated by endovascular coil embolization distal to the aneurysm and aortic stent-grafting of the intercostal artery origin. Conclusions: Ruptured intercostal artery aneurysms can be treated by endovascular techniques. If coil embolization of the intercostal artery origin is not possible, additional aortic stent-grafting can be necessary.
