Inflammatory aneurysms treated with EVAR

Semin Vasc Surg. 2012 Dec;25(4):227-31. doi: 10.1053/j.semvascsurg.2012.09.008.

Abstract

Inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms (IAAA) are being treated more frequently by endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Some authors caution against treating IAAA by EVAR because retroperitoneal inflammation may not subside post-operatively. A recent experience of 69 IAAA treated by open and endovascular methods is presented with results supporting the use of EVAR for IAAA. Several other studies evaluating EVAR in the treatment of IAAA are discussed.
