Abstract

Background

Abdominal aortic aneurysms frequently coincide with popliteal artery aneurysms. The association with multiple peripheral aneurysms, sometimes called polyaneurysmal disease, is less frequent.

Case Description

An 82-year-old male was diagnosed with polyaneurysmal disease. He was treated by femoral, popliteal, and profundal interposition grafts as well as fenestrated endovascular repair (FEVAR) using an Anaconda (Terumo Aortic, Inchinnan, Scotland) endoprosthesis combined with BeGraft peripheral and BeFlared (BF) bridging stent grafts (Bentley InnoMed, Hechingen, Germany).

Conclusion

Polyaneurysmal disease in an aged patient can be treated successfully by thorough case planning, staging of procedures, and combining different vascular surgical techniques. It demonstrates the smooth implantation of the BeFlared in an Anaconda FEVAR.
