[The use of politetrafluoroethylene stent-graft and vena cava filter in the endovascular treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm with aortocaval fistula].
We report on a the endovascular treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm with aortocaval fistula. The stent-graft was placed with the patient under general anaesthesia, and the abdominal aorta aneurysm was successfully treated. To prevent pulmonary embolism vena cava filter was deployed before the implantation of the sten-graft. The aneurysm was excluded and no endoleak or communication between the aorta and inferior vena cava was seen on computed tomographic imaging at the 3-month evaluation. Endovascular treatment offers an attractive therapeutic alternative to open repair in case of aortocaval fistula.
