Abstract

Extrinsic compression is a potential cause of stent failure. We have described the case of a 65-year-old paraplegic patient with acute right leg ischemia. His medical history was relevant for aortobifemoral bypass, followed by kissing covered stent reconstruction of a proximal anastomotic false aneurysm. The computed tomography scan showed collapse of the right iliac covered stent with ipsilateral iliofemoral graft thrombosis and partial collapse of the left iliac covered stent. He underwent emergent right iliac limb open thrombectomy and redo covered stent relining. The cause of compression was found to be daily deep abdominal massages for intestinal evacuation. The endovascular device should be tailored to the patient's particularities.
