Intimal Sarcoma after Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Abstract

A 72-year-old man, who was treated 10 years earlier with endovascular aortic aneurysm repair, presented with a fever. Considering the concern of stent graft infection, the patient was treated with antibiotics, but his condition did not improve. He underwent stent graft resection and reconstruction with a Dacron graft. Pathological analysis of the aortic wall and computed tomography revealed recurrent intimal sarcoma, and the patient underwent resurgery. During follow-up, he underwent two additional resections for local recurrence, but he died 17 months later. Our results suggest that intimal sarcoma should be considered during the follow-up after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair.

Development of an Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma After Aortic Aneurysm Graft Replacement: A Case Report and Literature Review

“…Herein, we describe a case of a UPS associated with aortic graft replacement that was confirmed through a postmortem autopsy. In addition, we have summarized cases of aortic graft-associated sarcomas according to their immunostaining findings and histological types [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”
