A 84-year-old man was admitted with
an abdominal tumor. Prosthetic graft replacement between the
aorta and the left external iliac artery was performed 17 years
previously. CT scan and angiography showed a large anastomotic
pseudoaneurysms at the sites of proximal and distal anastomosis.
A Y graft prosthesis replacement was performed. The size of the
proximal anastomotic pseudoaneurysm was 7×6×5cm, and that of
the distal anastomotic pseudoaneurysm was 15×10×10cm. They resulted
from cutting at anastomosis. Large anastomotic pseudoaneurysms
at both sites is rare.
