title: Bilateral prevascular herniae - A rare complication of aorto-uniiliac endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and femoro-femoral bypass.
abstract: A case of a 78-year-old female with bilateral groin prevascular herniae following an emergency aorto-uniiliac EVAR and femoro-femoral bypass for a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm is presented. Primary repair of the herniae was achieved using a preperitoneal approach. The case emphasises a safe approach to dealing with this rare complication.
