Deskripsi

A 40-year-old man presented with hemorrhagic shock owing to an aortoduodenal fistula. Angiography demonstrated vasospasm of the right common femoral artery to 2 mm. Treatment using a balloon-expandable stent graft was chosen given the smaller sheath diameter requirement when compared to self-expandable aortic stent graft. Given the undersized 11 mm delivery balloon for the patient's aorta, a sheath control technique was utilized. The stent graft was partially expanded within the sheath and the delivery balloon was exchanged for a 16-mm balloon to complete expansion of the stent graft apposition to the aortic wall, bridging the patient to definitive surgical repair.
