Rare Complication of EVAR: Thrombus in Endograft

摘要

Introduction: We report a rare complication of endovascular repair. Report: A 60-year-old male patient was referred to our clinic with abdominal aortic aneurysm. Endovascular repair of the 6.3-cm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm was performed. In the routine follow-up at the outpatient clinic, a repeat computed tomography (CT) angiography was obtained, and thrombus was detected in the upper-right segment of the endograft. Warfarin therapy was started. The patient is well in his 5th postoperative month. Discussion: Careful follow-up after endovascular procedures is essential and imaging tech- niques are helpful in distinguishing complications. Anticoagulation therapy may be used in these patients.
