Delayed complication of iliac artery aneurysm repair—from critical limb ischemia to mixed shock: a case report

ABSTRACT:

Background

Iliac artery aneurysms (IAA) can exist in isolation or in combination abdominal aortic aneurysmal disease. Isolated IAA are rare, often asymptomatic and will present with compression of local structures or incidentally on imaging. Treatment depends on symptomology and size. While endovascular repair has become the preferred method in recent years, for patients with extensive aneurysmal disease, the standard of care is surgical procedure. Acute limb ischemia (ALI) related to aneurysmal disease can occur by progression of untreated disease or rarely, as a complication of its repair.

Case Description

A man in his 70s who had previously undergone aorto-bifemoral repair for severe aorto-iliac aneurysmal disease nine years prior presented to the emergency department
