Testicular Infarction: A Rare Complication after Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Segmental testicular infarct with an associated testicular artery aneurysm: Case report of a rare clinical entity

“…In our patient, the vascular surgery team elected conservative management of the TAA. Previous case reports have described a rare risk of total testicular infarct following endovascular intervention for abdominal aortic and aorto-iliac aneurysms [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] . Although no such literature exists describing risk of total testicular infarct following endovascular intervention in the testicular artery, the vascular surgery team at our institution elected conservative, nonoperative management to mitigate the risk of total testicular infarction with endovascular intervention.…”

Acute global testicular infarction: A rare and important complication after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair

“…Testicular ischemia after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) is emerging as a rare, but serious, complication. To the best of our knowledge, there have been only 12 cases of post-EVAR testicular ischemia reported worldwide, 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 and this is the fourth case reported in the United States. 3 , 4 , 6 , 9 This report aims to highlight the importance of early recognition of this complication and contribute to our understanding of its pathophysiology.…”
