Özet

Endovascular stent-graft treatment is one of the treatment modalities in prevention of recurrent aneurysms at the anastomosis site which are common following surgical repair of aneurysms in vascular Behcet's disease. Pseudoaneurysms may also develop at the distal and proximal landing zones of the stent-graft. In this article, we report a 38-year-old male case of vascular Behcet's disease in whom ineffective immunosuppression resulted in the development of recurrent pseudoaneurysms at the proximal and distal ends of the stent graft and all around it. Although stent graft placement may be considered as an alternative treatment to surgery in patients with vascular Behcet's disease, a relatively low, but ongoing risk of recurrent pseudoaneurysm still remains.
