Why the study?
Giant abdominal aortic aneurysms measuring at least 10 cm are rare and pose anatomical challenges for EVAR due to narrow necks, extreme angulation, and organ dislocation.
Population
One elderly man with a 14.6-cm giant abdominal aortic aneurysm
Comparison
Endovascular repair (EVAR)
Design
Case report and literature review
Key result
Endovascular repair (EVAR) was successfully used to treat a 14.6-cm diameter giant abdominal aortic aneurysm in an elderly man.

EVAR may be feasible for select giant AAAs; leaves open questions on durability, safety, and generalizability.
Case Report (n=1)
Demonstrates that endovascular repair of giant abdominal aortic aneurysms (≥10 cm) is technically feasible with careful patient selection despite anatomical challenges.
Chatterjee et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Giant abdominal aortic aneurysm (n=1). Endovascular repair (EVAR) was evaluated on Successful treatment. Endovascular repair (EVAR) was successfully used to treat a 14.6-cm diameter giant abdominal aortic aneurysm in an elderly man.
