title: Endovascular surgery for inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm with contrast allergy-usefulness of carbon dioxide angiography and intravascular ultrasound: a case report.
abstract: We report a patient with inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm who underwent endovascular aneurysm repair, despite his having an allergy to iodinated contrast medium and anatomy unsuitable for the procedure. Intravascular ultrasound-guided and CO2-assisted aortic stent graft placement was performed, and the procedures resulted in the successful exclusion of the aneurysm with regression of the mantle sign and resolution of hydronephrosis.
