Abstract
A 76-year-old male was admitted to hospital complaining of severe abdominal pain, constipation, nausea and vomiting. The patient had undergone stent graft placement of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) at another hospital 13 months prior to admission. An X-ray, computed tomography scan and barium-enema examination revealed partial obstruction of the duodenum. Stent graft placement has been reported to be a useful procedure for AAA. However, as mass effects associated with AAA cannot be excluded, several symptoms may remain postoperatively. (Jpn Circ J 1999; 63: 567 - 568)Keywords
