- Abstract
Despite complications inherent to open surgical repair of inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms, there is expected resolution of the retroperitoneal inflammatory process following graft replacement. An endovascular approach could also exclude the aneurysm while potentially avoiding injury to vital structures in the hostile operative field. However, data are limited regarding the role of endovascular stent grafts in the management of inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms. Furthermore, postoperative regression of perianeurysmal inflammation is rarely discussed in the few published accounts of endovascular repair of inflammatory aortic aneurysms. The case presented demonstrates successful endovascular treatment of an infrarenal inflammatory aneurysm with resolution of the retroperitoneal inflammation and hydronephrosis.
