We present the first case of 45 year-old male with an incidental non-symptomatic right common iliac artery pseudoaneurysm with concomitant aortic ectasia in the setting of severe alcoholic pancreatitis and a horseshoe kidney diagnosed by CT and MRA. Such findings would have posed significant difficulty during an open approach precluding safe surgical repair. Therefore, an exclusion endovascular repair of the pseudoaneurysm was employed using a unibody bifurcated endovascular aortic stent-graft to good results. Although not without their complications, endovascular stent-grafts may be life saving to patients who are not candidates for conventional surgical repair. We describe the diagnosis alongside our technique of endovascular repair.
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.
