EVAR with aortic placement of a single JOTEC E-iliac Stent Graft System in a patient with poliomyelitis aorto-iliac deformities

Small size vessels can represent a contraindication to standard endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and, more specifically, aortoiliac deformities resulting from poliomyelitis may add an adjunctive challenge for total endovascular repair. Herein we report a case of a 62-year old man with a 55 mm abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and a history of poliomyelitis. More specifically, a computed-tomography angiogram (CTA) showed a very narrow infrarenal aortic neck, measuring 13 mm in maximum diameter, and severely atrophic external iliac and common femoral arteries.
