Insights
Endovascular abdominal aortic stent graft occlusion can be treated with endovascular techniques, including percutaneous angioplasty. This approach offers an alternative to traditional aorto femoral bypass for complex aortic and iliac artery disease.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Cardiology
- Endovascular Therapy
Background:
- Aorto femoral bypass is the standard treatment for diffuse aortic and iliac artery disease.
- Endovascular abdominal aortic stent grafts are increasingly used, but occlusion can occur.
Abstract:
Aorto femoral bypass is usually the recommended therapy for diffuse disease involving the aorta and iliac arteries. In this case report, a case involving a chronic endovascular abdominal aortic stent graft occlusion in which percutaneous angioplasty was performed via a transbrachial and transfemoral approach is presented. This case emphasized that occlusion of an endovascular abdominal aortic stent graft can also be treated, primarily, with an endovascular technique.
