| Popis: | The authors report a rare neurologic complication after the implantation of a bifurcated stent-graft for abdominal aortic aneurysm. The stent-graft was extended to both external iliac arteries after embolization of both internal iliac arteries. The patient subsequently had weakness and numbness of both lower limbs with bowel and bladder incontinence. He probably had ischemic injury to the nerve roots or the lumbosacral plexus, which was related to extensive occlusion of their supplying arteries. The mechanism of spinal cord and neurologic ischemia after aortic stent-graft implantation is discussed. |
