Endovascular aortic repair in an asymptomatic COVID-19-positive patient with a symptomatic inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm

In this report, we present the case of a COVID-19-positive patient whose symptomatic inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm was successfully treated with endovascular aortic repair at our institution. We discuss the reasoning behind the type of therapy used and the various lessons learned. Based on...

description In this report, we present the case of a COVID-19-positive patient whose symptomatic inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm was successfully treated with endovascular aortic repair at our institution. We discuss the reasoning behind the type of therapy used and the various lessons learned. Based on our experience with this patient, we recommend an endovascular approach for similar COVID-19 patients and suggest a prophylactic dose of enoxaparin (Lovenox; 40 mg daily) postoperatively for 14 days.
