title: Endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm in a 26-year-old man. A case report and 10-year follow-up.
abstract: We present endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm in a 26-year-old man with a 10-year follow-up. A young patient presenting with an abdominal aortic aneurysm is extremely rare, and data describing this population are limited. Open aneurysm repair (OAR) is the treatment of choice in these patients. However, since its introduction, endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has revolutionized the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The long-term durability and late complications after EVAR may have more significance when considering the optimal treatment for young patients with a longer life expectancy. Our good long-term outcome will help to support the use of EVAR as a reasonable alternative to OAR in young patients with suitable anatomic findings.
