Endovascular repair of a paraanastomotic aneurysm with inverted limb infrarenal bifurcated graft

Ann Vasc Surg. 2014 Feb;28(2):493.e5-10. doi: 10.1016/j.avsg.2013.03.019. Epub 2013 Dec 2.

Abstract

A typical complication after conventional aortic prosthetic reconstruction is paraanastomotic aneurysm formation. Endovascular exclusion of paraanastomotic aneurysms has been shown to be a viable alternative to open surgical repair and to greatly reduce morbidity and mortality rates. We present a case report of asymptomatic proximal anastomotic pseudoaneurysm, measuring 4.5 cm in diameter, that was successfully treated by endovascular repair with a custom-made inverted limb infrarenal bifurcated graft.
