Symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) presenting as unilateral lower limb swelling: A case report

Abstract

Highlights Symptomatic aneurysms typically present with pain localised to the abdomen, back, or flank. An extremely uncommon presentation of a symptomatic AAA is due to the sequelae of compression of the Inferior Vena Cava. IVC compression secondary to AAA has previously been treated via open surgery. Endovascular management of symptomatic AAA’s resulting in caval thrombosis may offer a viable alternative to open surgery.
