A Case of a Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patient with a Right Common Iliac Artery (CIA) Aneurysm after Endovascular Stenting for an Occluded Right CIA

Abstract

A 57-year-old woman who had undergone an endovascular stenting from a right common iliac artery (CIA) to a right external iliac artery (EIA) for the occluded right CIA, was taking prednisolone internally with a systemic lupus erythematosus. She came to our hospital because of an intermittent claudication in her left leg. As a computed tomography revealed the right CIA aneurysm as well as an occlusion between a left CIA and EIA and a slightly dilated abdominal aorta, we electively performed the removal of stents and reconstruction of bilateral EIA with a bifurcated prosthetic graft.
