Description
Infolding of an aortic endograft, usually characterized as endograft collapse, is a quite rare complication reported to occur mainly in thoracic aortic grafts. This report presents a case of an early proximal collapse of an endoprosthesis in an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The complication was diagnosed during the first month of follow-up and was not associated with any endoleak. It was treated with the deployment of a proximal endograft cuff with suprarenal fixation. Endograft collapse may complicate endovascular repair of the abdominal aorta in rare situations. Upon diagnosis of the problem, endovascular repair of graft collapse seems to be feasible.
