| Popis: | We report the case of 62-year-old male who underwent Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) for a large infrarenal AAA. Following investigation for a contralateral benign epididymal cyst he was found to have a left testicular mass and underwent urgent orchidectomy. The histological features were of subacute testicular infarction secondary to cholesterol emboli following his EVAR. We believe this is the first reported case of subacute testicular infarction due to cholesterol emboli reported following EVAR. Clinicians should be aware of the risk of cholesterol embolisation following EVAR. |
