AbstractAdvances in early diagnosis of abdominal aortic abnormalities, enhanced pre-and post-surgical care and improved pharmacological treatment, as well as new interventional strategies and surgical techniques have led to a considerable increase of those patients, who undergo surgical therapy, either using classical trans-abdominal open or endovascular techniques. These patients, as a result of their often underlying multi-morbidity, are prone to secondary complications that often require individual solutions. We present and discuss two cases of post-surgical complications that required individual strategies for risk reduction. The first case demonstrates the endovascular approach to a complication following open aortic surgery, the second describes a surgical intervention to solve a problem following endovascular therapy.
