Article Description

A 66-year-old man with multiple comorbidities presented with a juxtarenal perianastomotic aortic aneurysm 10 years after open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. The aneurysmal disease also involved both iliac bifurcations, the right internal iliac artery, the left common femoral artery (CFA) up to its bifurcation, and the homolateral popliteal artery. We performed bilateral internal iliac artery coil embolization 1-month apart. Later, we performed aortouniiliac endografting extending to the right external iliac artery and placement of an endovascular plug in the left external iliac artery. A right CFA to left femoral bifurcation bypass graft was then constructed after ligation of the left CFA aneurysm. After recovering from anesthesia and despite sequential hypogastric embolization, the patient developed postoperative paraplegia, buttock ischemia, and ischemic colitis and died on postoperative day 5. The possible pathogenic mechanisms involved in the onset of these ischemic complications are discussed in this article.
