Stent Graft-Induced Pseudoaneurysms in a Patient With Vasculo-Behçet Disease

Abstract

Behçet disease (BD) is a rare condition that causes pathologic abnormalities in multiple systems, with vascular complications, termed vasculo-BD, occurring in 7% to 29% of individuals with the disease. Arterial complications portend the highest mortality in vasculo-BD. Here, we present a case of a young woman with active vasculo-BD in whom endovascular repair failed, with development of stent graft-induced pseudoaneurysms at the proximal and distal extents of the stent graft, necessitating open descending thoracic aortic repair.
