Rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm post EVAR: a rare presentation of retroperitoneal liposarcoma.

Endoleak is the classical cause of rupture of aneurysms previously treated by endovascular means. We report a rare case of a retroperitoneal liposarcoma (LIS) invading an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), previously treated by endovascular repair (EVAR), causing rupture. Furthermore, a brief discussion of the diagnostic challenges posed by retroperitoneal tumors is presented with a closing note on their management.

Endovascular repair of aorto-bi-iliac aneurysm.

Iliac bifurcated devices (IBDs) are used in the endovascular treatment of aorto-iliac and common iliac artery aneurysms to preserve the flow to at least one internal iliac artery thereby decreasing the risk of pelvic ischemic complications. We report the use of IBDs in preserving both the internal iliac arteries.
