Abstract
We report a case of a full-thickness colonic infarction post-EVAR, manifested by a prolonged period of refractory culture-negative diarrhoea culminating in the passing a 90Â cm length of full thickness colon per rectum on the 34th post-operative day. Passage of an infarcted sigmoid colon 'cast' has been reported after open repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, but has not been reported after endovascular stent repair.
