Abstract
It is estimated that 1.7% of orthotopic liver transplant recipients will develop abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) after transplantation. It has been observed that these aneurysms expand faster in transplant recipients; therefore, aggressive surveillance for AAAs in transplant recipients is required. Endovascular aneurysm repair is rapidly becoming the standard of care, especially in patients with previous abdominal surgery and other significant comorbidities. This article describes our experience with AAAs in orthotopic liver transplant recipients treated successfully by endovascular stent graft repair.
