CTA and 3D reconstruction of the whole aorta. a and b showed multiple tumor-like bulges in the dilated ascending aorta and the arch of aorta with calcification lesions in the aortic wall. The maximum cross-sectional diameters of the dilated segments were 49.1, 33.9 and 19.2 mm. c and d showed the 3D reconstruction imaging of whole aorta before treatment

Chest computed tomography (CT) displayed an anomalous soft tissue mass with slightly lobular borders in the peripheral segment of the left lower lobe (Fig. 2).
Angiography of the aorta before and after the procedure. Remarkable cystic dilation of ascending aorta and aortic arch is indicated with arrow. After the stent implanted, the multiple tumor like bulges of the aorta completely disappeared
