Abstract:
A 78-year-old male presented with early gastric cancer and a 5.5 cm-sized infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm, detected during regular screening. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) was performed first, followed by laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. After gastrectomy, the patient underwent computed tomography (CT) scan due to persistent fever, which showed increased perigraft fluid collection around the right iliac limb graft. Echocardiography also revealed mitral valve vegetation, consistent with infective endocarditis. Despite intensive antibiotic treatment, the patient had persistent fever and showed fluid extension to the psoas muscle on CT scan. On the 49th post operative day (POD) after EVAR, stent graft explantation and aortic reconstruction with the left superficial femoral vein was performed. Ligation of the right iliac artery for infection control and simultaneous femoro-femoral bypass was also performed. The patient was discharged on the 46th POD after graft removal without any events.
