Complications - Resection of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with interposition of a tube graft

Bleeding

• injured iliac veins -> compression of inflow and outflow, vascular suture
• arterial bleeding -> vascular suture
• Injury of the patent inferior mesenteric artery and poor collateralisation (see preoperative angiogram, e.g., stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery, inadequate marginal arteries such as Riolan or Drummond, occlusion or stenosis of the internal iliac artery bilaterally). -> revascularisation because of impending ischaemic colitis

accidental bowel lesion

• Oversewing
