Abstract:
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has progressively become the preferred method for abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Controlled studies have indicated that EVAR is related to decreased perioperative morbidity and mortality compared with open repair. However, long-term complications are more common. The most common complication following EVAR is an endoleak. Few studies on delayed type Ib endoleak with aortic rupture have been found in the literature. We report a case of a 92-year-old man with a delayed type Ib endoleak with aortic rupture that developed 7 years after EVAR. Lifelong surveillance after EVAR is mandatory.
