Acute Bilateral Renal Artery Chimney Stent Thrombosis after Endovascular Repair of a Juxtarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

摘要

The use of “chimney” stents to augment the proximal landing zone (LZ) for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has been increasingly reported. Despite mounting enthusiasm for this technique, the durability of this type of repair and capability to preserve perfusion to target branches remains a paramount concern. Here we report management of a patient presenting with acute bilateral renal chimney stent thrombosis and a Type 1a endoleak.
