Article Synopsis
- A 72-year-old male experienced an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture years after an endovascular aneurysm repair that involved a Zenith stent-graft, highlighting a rare complication linked to stent migration.
- Follow-up CT scans revealed an initial issue with disconnection of the stent leading to a type Ia endoleak, which was resolved with additional stents; however, the patient later suffered from abdominal pain due to a new rupture linked to the migration of the original stent.
- The situation emphasizes the necessity for medical professionals to monitor long-term risks associated with stent-grafts, particularly the potential for AAA rupture from late stent migration.
