Abstract:
PURPOSE:To present a case of aortic sac occlusion using an Amplatzer vascular plug II (AVP). CASE REPORT:A patient with sigmoid malignancy and an infrarenal aortic aneurysm ultimately required an axillobifemoral graft for acute limb ischemia. The sac was ligated at subsequent laparotomy. Persistent filling of the sac was seen post surgery, and the sac was successfully occluded with placement of an AVP in the neck of the sac in conjunction with coil embolization of lumbar arteries. Sac occlusion was confirmed at follow-up CT. CONCLUSION:The AVP was successfully used to occlude an aortic sac after failed surgical ligation, another novel indication for this versatile embolic device.
