Abstract
Tuberculosis of the aorta is rare, and its localization in the isthmus is exceptional. Tuberculous aortic pseudoaneurysms have a high risk of rupture with a severe prognosis. Conventional treatment is based on a combination of surgery and anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy. The endovascular approach with stent graft placement can be an attractive and less invasive alternative, like in our case where conventional surgery was considered to be at risk in this nonagenarian patient.
