Description
Summary:Endograft repair has rapidly become an alternative to conventional open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Various trials continue to show decreased morbidity when compared to open repair. However, as with any new procedure, complications specifically related to this technique are being described. Herein, we report a case of an isolated ischemic jejunal stricture presenting as a small-bowel obstruction secondary to cholesterol emboli following endograft repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysms.
