Abstract
A 75-year-old man with an abdominal aortic aneurysm underwent endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) using an AFX2 endograft with no endoleaks. Nevertheless, the aneurysmal sac increased by 8 mm at 24 months after EVAR despite no detectable endoleaks. Open surgical treatment was performed because of the risk of rupture. Intraoperative findings of much viscous cloudy fluid with no blood flow in the sac suggested that perigraft seroma resulted in sac enlargement. The endografts were replaced by a Dacron graft. Perigraft seroma should be considered as a cause of sac growth after EVAR with AFX2 when there are no detectable endoleaks.Entities:
