Conventional repair of pararenal aortic aneurysms has been a technically challenging operation, with a significant morbidity rate of 28-35%. Endovascular stent grafting requires satisfactory landing zones for stent graft anchoring. Therefore, pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysms are usually contraindicated for this procedure because of difficulties associated with proximal graft fixation. In this case, we attempted to use a new strategy with an implanted atrial septal defect (ASD) Amplatzer device across the neck of the aneurysm. However, one month after this procedure the patient was referred to the hospital due to significant compression of the right inferior vena cava (IVC). Conclusion. In patients with an atrial septal defect and abdominal pain due to an aneurysm, implantation of an Amplatzer device across the aneurysm neck, may be beneficial.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
