Endovascular Treatment of Infrarenal Aortic Aneurism with Ovation Abdominal Stent Graft System

Purpose: This case reports and describes an endovascular aneurysm repair treated with Ovation® abdominal stent graft system (Tri Vascular Inc, Santa Rosa, Calif).

A seventy-four-year-old male checked in at our hospital complaining of severe abdominal pain. On his physical exam and initial image study no gastro-intestinal anomalies were found that justified the complaint. The patient was then submitted to an abdominal-pelvic computed tomography angiography where was confirmed our previous conjecture of an infrarenal aortic aneurysm.

The patient was forwarded for endovascular treatment using endoprosthesis (current generation stent grafts) with an ultra-low-profile delivery system, with excellent conformability, and kink resistant iliac limbs. The patient’s development following treatment was beyond expectations with radical clinical improvement and complete relief of symptoms. The results acquired in this case supports the viability an efficiency of abdominal aortic aneurysm endovascular treatment with the ovation stent graft system to treat a wide range of anatomies, especially in difficult anatomies, such as it is in this particular case.
