As the use of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) increases, anatomic constraints remain a challenge. In this case report, we describe the use of intravascular lithotripsy to facilitate EVAR in a patient with a severely calcified and stenotic aortic bifurcation. Future applications of intravascular lithotripsy could help expand the use of EVAR to patients with severely stenotic vasculature and optimize outcomes in the treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms.
随着血管内动脉瘤修复术(EVAR)的应用增加,解剖学限制仍然是一个挑战。在本病例报告中,我们描述了在一名主动脉分叉严重钙化和狭窄的患者中使用血管内碎石术以促进EVAR的情况。血管内碎石术的未来应用可能有助于将EVAR的使用扩展到血管严重狭窄的患者,并优化肾下腹主动脉瘤的治疗结果。
