We present the case of a 51-year-old Japanese man with immunoglobulin G4-related inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). A computed tomography scan showed a 60-mm AAA with inflammatory aortic wall thickening and bilateral hydronephrosis. We did not administer steroid therapy but undertook endovascular aneurysm repair. Postoperatively, inflammation of the aorta and hydronephrosis ameliorated without steroid therapy. The treatment of immunoglobulin G4-related inflammatory AAA is still debated. We achieved good clinical results with endovascular repair alone.
我们报告一例51岁的日本男性免疫球蛋白G4相关炎性腹主动脉瘤(AAA)病例。计算机断层扫描显示一个60毫米的腹主动脉瘤,伴有炎性主动脉壁增厚和双侧肾积水。我们未给予类固醇治疗,而是进行了血管内动脉瘤修复术。术后,未进行类固醇治疗,主动脉炎症和肾积水均得到改善。免疫球蛋白G4相关炎性腹主动脉瘤的治疗仍存在争议。我们仅通过血管内修复就取得了良好的临床效果。
