Abstract

Introduction: Twelve years after severe blunt chest trauma a 27-year old female presented with persisting, medically refractory back pain. The patient had been one of the first adolescents to be treated by thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for acute rupture of the aortic isthmus-covering the distal aortic arch down to the thoracic level of Th7. First symptoms of back pain occurred 5 years after TEVAR and became progressively severe and she required medical and orthopedic therapy.
