Abstract

We present the case of a 51-year-old Japanese man with immunoglobulin G4-related inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). A computed tomography scan showed a 60-mm AAA with inflammatory aortic wall thickening and bilateral hydronephrosis. We did not administer steroid therapy but undertook endovascular aneurysm repair. Postoperatively, inflammation of the aorta and hydronephrosis ameliorated without steroid therapy. The treatment of immunoglobulin G4-related inflammatory AAA is still debated. We achieved good clinical results with endovascular repair alone.

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.
