ABSTRACT
Anatomical variation may result in unexpected complications after fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR). We report a 78-year-old gentleman who was admitted for elective FEVAR procedure for a juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. Three days post-operatively, he deteriorated clinically. Computed tomography (CT) angiogram showed small bowel ischaemia and a replaced right hepatic artery originating from superior mesenteric artery. A necrotic gallbladder found during laparotomy required cholecystectomy following small bowel resection that required a relook for anastomosis and drainage of bile collection. He had prolonged ICU stay requiring treatment for multiple organ dysfunction then spent 4 weeks in hospital. Following multidisciplinary team approach in management of his complications during post-operative phase, he recovered well enough for rehabilitation and discharge home. Surveillance CT aorta at 1 month and 6 months post FEVAR showed satisfactory FEVAR appearance with no endoleak.
