ABSTRACT
Coral reef aorta (CRA) is characterized by heavily calcified obstructive lesions in the aorta. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is an established, less invasive procedure for aortic diseases; however, aortic occlusive diseases are commonly treated with conventional open surgery, and there are no reports of TEVAR in patients with a saccular aneurysm in CRA. We present a 72-year-old frail woman with a descending thoracic saccular aneurysm in CRA; therefore, we performed TEVAR. Although we had difficulty in advancing the stent graft system because it was caught in the severely calcified aorta, we finally succeeded in excluding the aneurysm.
