Penet rat ing aor t ic atherosclerot ic ulcer i s an underdiagnosed condition that presents high rates of morbidity and mortality. We report two cases of patients with severe chest pain, with no ischemic features, who underwent chest angiotomography and showed an ulceration of the aortic wall, with contrast penetration into the middle layer. Due to the failure of the medical treatment, the patients underwent percutaneous aortic stent implantation with complete resolution of symptoms.
