Abstract

Introduction

Abdominal endovascular aneurysm repair is a minimally invasive alternative to major open surgery for the repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms that results in reduced recovery times and early survival rates.

Methods

The TriVascular Ovation® Abdominal Stent Graft System is a low-profile endovascular device with active fixation used for endovascular aneurysm repair. The stent graft is designed to reline the diseased vasculature, providing an endovascular blood conduit for isolating the aneurysm from the high-pressure flow of blood, thereby reducing the risk of rupture. The stent graft is a modular configuration comprised of an aortic body section, iliac limbs, and iliac extensions as required.

Results and Conclusion: We present a case of symptomatic aortic body graft stenosis in the unsupported segment below the O-rings, 26 months after the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm with Ovation® Abdominal Stent Graft System. The successful repair was performed by ballooning the stenotic area which resulted in complete resolution of the symptoms.
