We report renal salvage maneuvers after accidental bilateral renal artery coverage during endovascular aneurysm repair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. A 79-year-old man with an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm was treated with endovascular aneurysm repair. Completion angiography demonstrated coverage of the renal arteries. Several revascularization techniques were attempted, inc...

Introduction: An aortoduodenal fistula is a potentially lethal complication after transperitoneal open repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Case Report: A 77-year-old Caucasian male who underwent a conventional repair of an inflammatory infrarenal aortic aneurysm, was readmitted with hematemesis only six weeks after surgery. Gastroscopy and computed tomography angiography indicated an aortod...

www.thelancet.com Published online April 25, 2017 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(17)31110-8 1 Past studies have found that women have a lower prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm, develop abdominal aortic aneurysm at later ages, have higher rates of rupture, and have higher 30-day mortality and more complications from either open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair or endovascular repair ...

We encountered a patient with a large retroperitoneal hematoma due to rupture of a common femoral artery aneurysm. A 77-year-old man was transferred to our hospital with left groin pain and shock. Computed tomography demonstrated a large retroperitoneal hematoma involving the left iliofemoral segment with extravasation of contrast into the left groin from a ruptured left common femoral artery a...

mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. the management of this disease is controversial. since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown. secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatr...

Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm has become a milestone in the treatment of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm.Technological improvement allows treatment in more and more complex cases. This review summarizes all grafts available in the market. At the best of our knowledge a complete review of most important trial on this topic are provided and at least technical tips and t...

Mycotic infrarenal aortic aneurysms are rare and often masquerade as other abdominal pathology. We present a case where serial imaging made the diagnosis and provided an insight into the pathophysiology of mycotic aneurysm. A 71-year-old man presents with abdominal pain, rigours and dysuria. Computed tomography reveals an irregular, thickened ectatic abdominal aorta, but cholescintigraphy sugge...

AIMS The role of cardiovascular risk factors and atherosclerosis in the aetiology of abdominal aortic aneurysms is not well understood. The aim of this study was to determine the association between atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysm in the general population and the extent to which cardiovascular risk factors might increase the risk of aneurysm independently of an effect on atherosclerotic di...

Abstract: Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a swelling (aneurysm) of the aorta. aneurysms often grow slowly without noticeable symptoms, so screening by clinical examination combined with imaging methods to detect disease early helps reduce morbidity and mortality. Computed tomography (CT) becoming increasingly common has become good method for detecting abdominal aneurysms. This study aims describe...
