Regression of Inflammatory Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm after Endoluminal Treatment with Bare-Metal Wallstent® Endoprostheses

RESUMO

Bare-metal Wallstent® endoprostheses were used to treat a 60-year-old man who had an inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm, as confirmed by clinical and computed tomographic findings. The patient had concomitant coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and severe iliofemoral disease. Because of high surgical risk due to coexisting disease (including severe peripheral vascular disease), the patient was not a candidate for current endovascular methods or surgical repair. Therefore, we used the novel endovascular approach described.
