Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) |
- Operator: Seung-Whan Lee, MD |
Case Presentation |
A 69-year-old male was admitted to our hospital for the management of symptomatic infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). 1 year ago, his AAA was initially detected on abdominal CT scan while he was evaluated for lumbar pain. He underwent lumbar pain 2 weeks ago. The increase in the aneurysmal diameter was found by follow-up using computed tomography (CT). On the last CT scan, maximal aneurysmal diameter increased from 4.7 cm to 5.0 cm for 1 year. |
Baseline Computed Tomography of the Abdominal Aorta |
CT showed an abdominal aortic aneurysm with mural thrombi, the extent of which was from 45mm distal to left renal artery to both common iliac arteries (Figure 1, Figure 2). |
Procedure |
Vascular accesses were obtained by insertion of two 7 Fr sheathes into both femoral arteries, and aortography was performed via right femoral artery using a 5 Fr pigtail diagnostic catheter ( |
