Abstract:

Inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms are pathophysiologically different from the noninflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms. Their inflammatory histology dictates its different behavior, and possibly, its particular response to endovascular treatment. The authors present a case of hydronephrosis and consequent acute kidney injury in a patient with an inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm who underwent endovascular repair. This case emphasizes a rare cause of acute kidney injury after endovascular aneurysm repair, in which the prompt recognition and the ureteric stent were needed to restore kidney function.
