Endovascular Repair of a Short Neck Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm with a Physician-Modified Vascutek Anaconda Stent Graft

Annals of Vascular Surgery

Abstract

An 81-year-old woman was referred for the treatment of a 79-mm-diameter short neck abdominal aortic aneurysm with highly tortuous iliac arteries. She was considered at high risk for open repair and not suitable for standard endovascular repair given the short length of the proximal neck. Delay for a manufactured custom-made fenestrated stent graft was too long given the diameter of the aneurysm. A flexible stent graft was preferred because of severe iliac tortuosity. Endovascular repair was performed using a physician-modified Anaconda stent graft with 1 fenestration for the left renal artery. The technique for device modification and implantation is described. Postoperative course was uneventful and 1-year computed tomography scan showed complete exclusion of the aneurysm sac and patent left renal artery.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
