An unusual complication after endovascular aneurysm repair for giant abdominal aortic aneurysm with aortocaval fistula: High bilirubin levels.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm has among its rare complications the aortocaval fistula. It is observed in less than 1% of all abdominal aortic aneurysms and represents 3%-7% of clinical presentation in case of rupture. A male patient was presented to the emergency department with pulsating mass with continuous vascular systo-diastolic bruit, located in the lower part of abdomen with the back pain radiating anteriorly in lower abdomen. After diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm with aortocaval fistula, a trimodular Endurant endograft was placed. Migration of the endoprosthesis was treated with Endoanchor and endovascular aneurysm sealing device. In the postoperative course, the patient had jaundice due to high bilirubin levels, cholestasis and increased hepatocyte cytolysis: aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase. The treatment with appropriate continuous filtration rapidly reduced bilirubin values and the patient gradually improved.
