Abstract

To demonstrate explantation of the Nellix Endovascular Aneurysm Sealing (EVAS) System in the setting of infection. Two male patients, 71 and 83 years old, underwent Nellix implantation for asymptomatic infrarenal aortic aneurysms measuring 5.1 and 6.3 cm, respectively. Each developed late infections at 8 and 4 months post EVAS, respectively. The first patient experienced aneurysm rupture after medical therapy failed; the Nellix endosystem was explanted in an uneventful procedure. The second patient developed an aortoduodenal fistula, which was sutured before the Nellix device was removed without complications. The patient died 3 months later, presumably due to ongoing infection. The need to explant a Nellix EVAS System due to graft infection is a straightforward procedure compared to the removal of a conventional endograft with suprarenal fixation. It requires only temporary suprarenal clamping. The devices can be easily removed due to the lack of penetrating components and without damage to the aortic segment needed to create an anastomosis.

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.

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.
