Abstract
A 24-year-old male pedestrian with situs inversus and dextrocardia was struck by a car and sustained multiple injuries, including a pseudoaneurysm of the proximal descending thoracic aorta. A thoracic endograft was deployed to exclude the blunt aortic injury. We are not aware of any report of endovascular repair of blunt aortic injury in a patient with this congenital finding. A brief review of the literature is also included.Entities:
