AIM: This is a retrospective study of a single center experience in the endovascular treatment of penetrating aortic @entity1066 (PAU). METHODS:Sixteen consecutive @entity1 aged 69.1  9.6 years presenting PAU (in the aortic arch in 2, the descending thoracic aorta in 11, and in the abdominal aorta in 3) undergone therapy. Nine @entity1 presented symptomatic, while 7 were asymptomatic. All @entity1 underwent computer tomography angiography (CTA) of the thoracic and the abdominal aorta. Endovascular therapy alone was carried out in 12 @entity1 , while 4 received hybrid therapy. RESULTS:One @entity1 died of @entity177 after hybrid procedure. Complications consisted of type II endoleak from lumbar arteries in 1 case of endovascular procedure, and @entity1576 in 1 @entity1 treated by endovascular technique on the emergency basis for @entity1755 . CONCLUSION:PAU involves more frequently the descending thoracic aorta. Endovascular treatment (alone or in hybrid therapy) can give good results in @entity1 with severe @entity66 . Prognosis of these @entity1 is not favourable in most cases (48-month survival rate 47.9%) due to severe @entity66 .
