Introduction:
Acute renal failure is a frequent major complication (24%) of endovascular repair for ruptured abdominal aneurysm (rAAA). Iodinated contrast media is known to be nephrotoxic. This report describes a case of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) under fusion imaging guidance in a patient diagnosed with a rAAA after non-contrast CT. Written consent was obtained from the patient.
Report:
A 73 year old patient with stage IV chronic kidney failure and contrast-induced nephropathy was diagnosed with rAAA using non-contrast CT. Subsequently, the patient was treated with EVAR using fusion imaging.
Discussion:
EVAR with fusion imaging after non-contrast CT was safe in a patient with rAAA. It could represent an option for patients with acute renal failure in emergency settings.
