Summary

A 78-year-old patient underwent a complex endovascular repair at SSB Heart and Multispeciality Hospital in Faridabad to treat a significantly dilated abdominal aorta measuring 7 cm. The aneurysm posed a high risk of rupture and involved arteries crucial for kidney function, complicating the procedure. Doctors devised an innovative approach to manage this challenging case, ensuring vital blood supply to the kidneys was maintained throughout the treatment.
The expert medical team, led by Dr. S. S. Bansal, performed the advanced repair using a stent graft inserted through the thigh arteries. They ingeniously created fenestrations to precisely position covered stents for the kidney arteries. This intricate technique allowed for the successful sealing of the abdominal aortic and iliac aneurysms with a total of five covered stents.
