We report on a 72-year old male with a large aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta which was treated by implantation of a Dacron-covered self-expanding Nitinol stent graft (Talent, HOSMED). The patient was unfit for surgical aneurysm resection because of generalised atherosclerosis and cardiomyopathy. We think that stent implantation for descending thoracic aortic aneurysms is an attractive alternative to surgical aneurysm resection, especially in patients with enhanced operative risk. However, further experience, and especially long term-results, are required before more widespread application of intra-luminal stent implantation in the management of thoracic aortic aneurysms can be recommended.
