Sequential Graft Limb Occlusion Following Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: A Case Report and Literature Review

Limb graft occlusion (LGO) is a common complication that can occur after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). There are many factors that can contribute to LGO, including patient-related variables, device-related considerations, and factors associated with the procedural technique. Patients with LGO...

Summary:Limb graft occlusion (LGO) is a common complication that can occur after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). There are many factors that can contribute to LGO, including patient-related variables, device-related considerations, and factors associated with the procedural technique. Patients with LGO may exhibit no symptoms, have intermittent claudication, or suffer from acute limb ischemia. In this manuscript, we present a case of a 64-year-old male who experienced sequential LGOs after EVAR accompanied by a comprehensive review of the pertinent literature.
