Heart failure as an independent prognostic factor for endovascular method of abdominal aortic aneurysm treatment

Abstract

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has been accepted as an alternative to traditional open surgery in selected patients. Now it is a widely accepted standard. In case of contraindications for open repair, after accomplishing including criteria for EVAR, the patient can be treated by this method. Despite the minimally invasiveness of this treatment, several complications may occur during or after EVAR. Complications arise from the limitations of the method and improper patient selection. We report a case of patient with heart failure and complications after EVAR.
