Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are considered giant when they exceed >10cm, and they are rare, with only a few cases described as >14cm. AAAs can be repaired through endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) or open surgery. EVAR involves the placement of a graft that contacts the aortic wall and the iliac vessels to prevent the aneurysm sac to have blood flow and pressure. One of the complications of EVAR is endoleak, the most common being type II. We describe an uncommon case of a progressively giant AAA with type II endoleak with poor evolution despite multiple repair attempts.
腹主动脉瘤(AAA)直径超过10厘米时被视为巨大型,此类情况较为罕见,仅有少数病例报道直径超过14厘米。AAA可通过血管腔内修复术(EVAR)或开放手术进行修复。EVAR是指放置一个与主动脉壁和髂血管接触的移植物,以防止瘤腔内有血流和压力。EVAR的并发症之一是内漏,最常见的是II型。我们描述了一例罕见的逐渐增大的巨大型AAA合并II型内漏的病例,尽管多次尝试修复,但病情进展不佳。
