OPEN SURGICAL REPAIR AFTER EARLY ENDOGRAFT THROMBOSIS FOLLOWING EVAR- CASE REPORT
Abstract:
Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common problem of the community and it is associated with a high risk of mortality in case of complications. However, there are discussions regarding the efficiency of endovascular or open surgery repair of that. Case presentation: In our case, an early endograft thrombosis (3 weeks) causing limb ischaemia required a completely endograft explantation and an interposition of bifurcated prosthetic graft from the infrarenal aortic neck to the femoral arteries in a 56-year-old female patient. Conclusions: Endoluminal repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm has many advantages, but many complications also occur. Open surgical repair after complicated endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) needs complete endograft removal and revascularization with a prosthetic surgical graft.
