Abstract: | Aortocaval fistula (ACF) and false aneurysm are a recognized complication of open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. Untreated they are often fatal. However, open surgical repair of this complication is associated with a high operative mortality and a significant complication rate. Endovascular management using a stent-graft to exclude the false aneurysm and fistula is a technically feasible alternative and confers many advantages over open repair by virtue of its minimally invasive nature. We report the endovascular management of this rare but serious complication of open AAA repair. |
