Testicular ischemia is one of the most rarely reported complications of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). Although the pathogenesis remains unclear, thromboembolic events in the setting of testicular artery origin occlusion by the stent graft and poor baseline collateral testicular circulation are presumed causes. A 73-year-old man developed acute right testicular infarction 3 days after EVAR, requiring orchiectomy. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing and evaluating testicular pain after EVAR and counseling patients on this possible EVAR complication.
睾丸缺血是血管腔内腹主动脉瘤修复术(EVAR)最罕见的并发症之一。尽管其发病机制尚不清楚,但推测原因是支架移植物阻塞睾丸动脉起源处的血栓栓塞事件以及睾丸侧支循环基线较差。一名73岁男性在接受EVAR术后3天发生急性右侧睾丸梗死,需要进行睾丸切除术。该病例强调了识别和评估EVAR术后睾丸疼痛以及就此可能的EVAR并发症对患者进行咨询的重要性。
