Summary
- A 78-year-old patient's 7 cm abdominal aortic aneurysm was repaired.
- Kidney blood flow was preserved during the complex endovascular procedure.
- Five covered stents were used to seal the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries.
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.
The multidisciplinary team's successful intervention not only addressed the life-threatening abdominal aortic aneurysm but also safeguarded the patient's kidney function. This high-risk procedure, utilizing multiple access sites including arm arteries for renal stent placement, highlights the hospital's advanced capabilities in managing complex vascular cases.
