Endovascular Aneurysm Repair in HIV Patients with Ruptured Abdominal Aneurysm and Low CD4

الملخص EN

We report two HIV infected patients with ruptured abdominal aneurysm by using endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) technique.

A 59-year-old Thai man had a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm and a 57-year-old man had a ruptured iliac artery aneurysm.

Both patients had a CD4 level below 200 μ/L indicating a low immune status at admission.

They were treated by EVAR.

Neither patient had any complications in 3 months postoperatively.

EVAR may have a role in HIV patients with ruptured abdominal aneurysm together with very low immunity.
