As with any surgical procedure, complications can occur. Some possible complications may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Damage to surrounding blood vessels, organs, or other structures by instruments
- Kidney damage
- Limb ischemia (loss of blood flow to leg/feet) from clots
- Groin wound infection
- Groin hematoma (large blood-filled bruise)
- Bleeding
- Endoleak (continual leaking of blood out of the graft and into the aneurysm sac with potential rupture)
- Spinal cord injury
Patients who are allergic to or sensitive to medications, contrast dyes, iodine, shellfish, or latex should notify their physician.
There may be other risks depending upon your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your physician prior to the procedure.
