Abstract
Open surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is often regarded as a near-permanent operation with little long-term complications. Reported herein is a case of delayed rupture of an enlarging AAA sac after open repair requiring re-exploration in a patient presenting with flank pain and ipsilateral hydronephrosis. The natural history of a large, excluded aneurysm sac after open AAA repair, hypothesized etiology for this rare occurrence, and proposed diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm are described.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing peer review high quality case reports, vascular images and innovative techniques related to all aspects of arterial, venous, and lymphatic diseases and disorders, including vascular trauma, malformations, wound care and the placement and maintenance of arterio-venous dialysis accesses with an emphasis on the practicing clinician. The Journal seeks to provide novel and timely information to vascular surgeons, interventionalists, phlebologists, wound care specialists, and allied health professionals involved with the management of patients with the entire spectrum of vascular disorders.
