Overview

The authors present a case report of long- term follow up of 66-year old male with the abdominal aortic aneurysm treated with aortouniiliac stent-graft implantation in combination with the cross-over femoro-femoral bypass 14 years ago. Various leaks type Ia, IIb and III developed during follow-up. In spite of endovascular treatment of these complications the size of the aneurysmal sac enlarged and the patient was successfully treated by the aortobifemoral bypass.

Key words:
aorta – aneurysm – late conversion – stentgraft
