ABSTRACT
Both aortic pseudoaneurysm following endovascular aortoiliac reconstruction and spondylodiscitis subsequent to endograft infections are rare complications. We present a case of aortic false aneurysm following iliac arteries treatment complicated by spondylodiscitis after its endovascular repair. In this patient, a huge aortic pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed and treated in an emergency setting a few days after the procedure. A left aortomonoiliac endograft was placed and a femoro-femoral crossover bypass was performed. Afterward, the patient developed a stent graft infection and a lumbar spondylodiscitis. The patient was managed with a conservative treatment and, after 4 years, he continues to live. Analyzing this case, we would like to point out the following aspects any procedure, although well established and technically simple, can cause life-threatening complications; hematomas resulting from endovascular exclusion of large pseudoaneurysms could be drained, to prevent bacterial infections.
