ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Endovascular management of aortic occlusive disease is an alternative to open surgery. This case describes the use of a Nellix graft to treat infrarenal aortic stenosis, outwith the graft indication for use. CASE REPORT A 71 year old man with multiple comorbidities, presented with bilateral buttock claudication. A computed tomography angiogram (CTA) showed significant infrarenal aortic stenosis. Under local anaesthetic, using a percutaneous approach, Nellix grafts were inserted. The patient was discharged within 24 hours. His claudication improved significantly. A 6 month follow-up CT showed stent patency.CONCLUSION:
Although further research is necessary, this case suggests that Nellix is safe and effective for primary stenting of the stenotic infrarenal aorta.
