  • Title: De novo periaortic fibrosis after endovascular aortic repair.
    Author: Alomran F, de Blic R, Mallios A, Costanzo A, Boura B, Combes M.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2014 Feb; 28(2):493.e1-3. PubMed ID: 24275428.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 63-year-old man presenting with abdominal pain and hydronephrosis secondary to periaortic fibrosis (PAF) 8 months after an endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) using a woven polyester bifurcated graft. De novo delayed PAF after open repair is rare and even more infrequent after EVAR. All 3 previously reported cases occurred after woven polyester grafts and no reported cases after polytetrafluorethylene grafts. Management included steroidal anti-inflammatory treatment and bilateral double J tube placement. Satisfactory results were obtained.
