PP-135 Treatment of Significantly Tortuous Abdominal and Iliac Aneurysm with Stent and Vascular Plaque

A 68-year-old man was admitted to our clinic with abdominal pain. In his medical history, he has had chronic atrial fibrillation for 5 years and aortic valve replacement were applied 4 years ago. On physical examination, arterial blood pressure was 120/70 mmHg and peripheral pulses were weak in both lower limbs. The abdominal aortic aneurysm was detected on examination. Electrocardiography and transthoracic echocardiography were in normal limits. In abdominal computed tomography angiography, a aortic aneurysm, 2.5 cm below the left renal artery orifice extending to the aortic bifurcation, approximately 49x54 mm in the widest part at the infrarenal region, about 100 degrees angulation between normal aorta and aneurysmal section was detected.
