Abstract

We present endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm in a 26-year-old man with a 10-year follow-up. A young patient presenting with an abdominal aortic aneurysm is extremely rare, and data describing this population are limited. Open aneurysm repair (OAR) is the treatment of choice in these patients. However, since its introduction, endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has revolutionized the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The long-term durability and late complications after EVAR may have more significance when considering the optimal treatment for young patients with a longer life expectancy. Our good long-term outcome will help to support the use of EVAR as a reasonable alternative to OAR in young patients with suitable anatomic findings.

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.

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.

Aneurysm

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