Abstract

The endovascular approach is widely used in the management of aortic isthmic rupture. Even if it remains less invasive than conventional surgery, a life-threatening complications are possible. We report the case of a young female patient presenting a stent-graft migration during the deployment with total obstruction of the supra-aortic vessels. We describe the therapeutic management with a cerebral rescue procedure followed by a delayed surgical repair.
