Endovascular salvage of an aortic anastomotic pseudoaneurysm following deep vein reconstruction

Abstract

Aortoiliac reconstruction using autologous deep femoral vein (neoaortic iliac system bypass [NAIS]) is a therapeutic option for management of prosthetic aortic graft infection. Complications after NAIS are complex and reported management strategies few. Endovascular procedures offer a minimally invasive alternative to high-risk, complex open surgery. We report a case of early aortic anastomotic failure after NAIS associated with a pseudoaneurysm and significant retroperitoneal hemorrhage, which was successfully treated by endovascular stent grafting.
