Para-aortic malignant lymphoma invading the thoracic aorta can cause aortic rupture. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a good option to treat aortic rupture associated with para-aortic malignancies. It is essential to detect the exact tumour location during TEVAR; however, it is often difficult to confirm the location with conventional 2-dimensional fluoroscopic or angiographic images. We describe successful TEVAR using syngo DynaCT (Siemens AG, Forchheim, Germany) in a 64-year-old man with para-aortic malignant lymphoma invading the descending aorta.
