Disruption of Matsui-Kitamura Stent-graft Six Years after Treatment for Rupture of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm

Matsui-Kitamura stent-graft (MKSG) is a home-made device for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) developed in Japan. A 76-year-old man who had been treated by TEVAR (zone 3) with a MKSG for ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm was diagnosed as having type Ia endoleak caused by suture disruption...

Summary:Matsui-Kitamura stent-graft (MKSG) is a home-made device for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) developed in Japan. A 76-year-old man who had been treated by TEVAR (zone 3) with a MKSG for ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm was diagnosed as having type Ia endoleak caused by suture disruption and aneurysmal sac expansion 6 years later. He underwent TEVAR (zone 1) with debranching and type Ia endoleak disappeared. MKSG had been the effective device especially for acute aortic emergencies in the descending thoracic aorta until the stent-grafts became commercially available, but careful observation and appropriate re-intervention is mandatory for the continued life-saving contribution.
