Thrombosis of a descending thoracic aortic endovascular stent graft in a patient with factor V Leiden: case report

Authors: Ganesh S Kumpati, Amit N Patel, David A Bull

Abstract

We present a case of a 14 year old Caucasian male who underwent initially successful endovascular repair of a traumatic injury to the descending thoracic aorta. The patient had undiagnosed Factor V Leiden at the time of the endovascular repair. He later presented with thrombosis of the endovascular stent graft, necessitating open removal of the stent graft and replacement of the involved aorta with a Dacron graft.
