Endovascular repair of symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm: a seminal case in West Africa

We report a 79-year-old man with epigastric pain, which was diagnosed to be due to AAA on a computerised tomography angiogram (CTA). His only risk factor was hypertension. He had endovascular repair in 2018, the first-ever in Ghana and West Africa. 2021 is the 3rd year of surveillance post- EVAR with no disease progression or complication. This seminal case is a beacon of hope in Ghana's resource-constrained healthcare system.FUNDING: None declared.PMID:35957931 | PMC:PMC9334969 | DOI:10.4314/gmj.v55i4.13
