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.

Introduction And Importance: Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a proliferative disease of fibroblasts with a still unclear appearance and low incidence. The clinical manifestations are nonspecific and appear late, pain is the most common symptom present. Elevated serum IgG4 levels are observed in up to 60 % of the patients and the main goal of treating this condition is to preserve kidney function.

Introduction: We present a case of late endograft infection that progressed to the left iliac and femoral arteries, leading to left lower extremity gangrene, and the patient's death.
Case: A 65-year-old male with a history of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) developed left acute limb ischemia (Rutherford category III) and abdominal pain. A CT scan showed significant gas formation around the endograft and complete occlusion of the left distal iliac artery to the femoral arteries.

Many aspects of IgG4-related diseases were initially described during the late 19th and early 20th century. A variety of clinical presentations caused by this common pathology have been named after the researchers who first described the disorders, such as Mikulicz, Küttner, Riedel or Ormond. However, the initial description of retroperitoneal fibrosis dates back to even 50 years earlier, when in 1846, the Prussian private practitioner Raphael Jakob Kosch described a hitherto unknown constellation of symptoms and pathological findings in a famous patient.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare condition characterized by the presence of fibro-inflammatory tissue surrounding the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries, often leading to the involvement of adjacent organs such as the ureters and inferior vena cava. We present a case report of a 56-year-old Caucasian woman with a complex medical history, including Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy (31 years before), a significant smoking history, and a current presentation of acute kidney injury with oliguria, edema, and hypertension. Initial diagnostic considerations included rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, supported by clinical and imaging findings.
