Abstract
A 41-year-old male diagnosed with Crawford III thoracoabdominal aorta aneurysm (TAAA) was treated using a completely endovascular approach. After the combined implementation of 4 overlapping bare stents and a stent graft, TAAA was excluded while the 4 visceral arteries were reserved. Follow-up computed tomography scans at 3 and 6 months showed that the aneurysm had almost disappeared, while the vital branches remained open. This case may provide an acceptable alternative choice for treating TAAA in selected patients.
