Endovascular treatment of spurious aneurysm of the aorto-femoral shunt with the use of a stent graft

Abstract

This report presents a clinical case of endovascular treatment of a rare complication – a spurious aneurysm from a linear aorto-femoral shunt. We performed implantation of a self-expandable stent graft directly into the vascular prosthesis in the projection of the defect of its wall. We tried to foresee possible procedural complications, and in this regard to justify the choice of tactics of treatment and selection of the applied tools. Given the lack of available literature data on the methods and techniques of interventions in this pathology, we believe that our experience will be interesting and useful for professionals involved in the treatment of patients with vascular diseases.
