Nine-year Experience of Recurrent Anastomotic Pseudoaneurysms after Thoracoabdominal Aneurysm Graft Replacement in a Patient with Behçet Disease

A 47 year-old woman with Behçet disease presented with back pain. Computed tomography showed an extent IV thoracoabdominal aneurysm. Graft replacement with reconstruction of all visceral arteries was performed. At five years postoperatively, anastomotic pseudoaneurysm of the left renal artery occurred, and it was reconstructed with an 8-mm graft. Two years after the second reconstruction, anastomotic pseudoaneurysms of the abdominal aorta developed. Y-shaped graft replacement was performed. There has been no recurrence for one year since the last operation. In situ graft reconstruction for recurrent pseudoaneurysms in a Behçet disease patient more than five years after graft replacement with reconstruction of all visceral arteries is rare.
