AI Article Synopsis
- A 54-year-old woman was diagnosed with symptomatic focal atherosclerotic abdominal aortic stenosis, which was studied using computed tomographic angiography.
- She was successfully treated with an endovascular approach, utilizing a covered stent, and experienced an uneventful recovery, remaining asymptomatic for 18 months post-surgery.
- The advancements in endovascular technology have significantly changed the treatment landscape for this condition, though questions remain regarding stenting practices and procedural specifics.
Article Abstract
We report a case of a 54-year-old woman presenting a symptomatic focal atherosclerotic abdominal aortic stenosis. Computed tomographic angiography allowed to study the lesion, the abdominal aorta and its main branches. The patient was treated via an endovascular approach using a covered stent. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was asymptomatic with a patent reconstruction after 18 months. Improvement in endovascular technology has totally modified the treatment of focal atherosclerotic abdominal aortic stenosis. However, many technical points remain to be determined including the necessity of systematic stenting, the type of stent to use, and the steps of the procedure.
