| Summary: | Inflammatory and
juxtarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (j-iAAA)
represents a technical challenge for open repair
(OR) due to the peculiar anatomy, extensive
perianeurysmal fibrosis, and dense adhesion to
the surrounding tissues. A 68-year-old man with
an 11 cm asymptomatic j-iAAA was
successfully treated with elective EVAR and
chimney-graft (ch-EVAR) without postprocedural complications. Target vessel patency
and normal renal function are present at 24-month follow-up. The treatment of j-iAAA can be
technically challenging. ch-EVAR is a feasible
and safe bail-out method for elective j-iAAA
with challenging anatomy. |
