Penetrating aortic ulcers is rare in clinical practice, and it is necessary to intervene in this type of aortic perforating ulcer because it can be accompanied by major arterial dissection and intermural hematoma. With the widespread application and technical advancement of follow-up thoracic aortic endovascular repair (TEVAR), endovascular treatment has become the first choice for symptomatic aortic perforating ulcers. In this review, we will review the diagnosis, diagnosis and endovascular treatment of aortic perforating ulcer.
