Abstract
- Acute ischemic hepatitis and pancreatic abscess after aortic surgery are not common gastrointestinal complications. We report here on a case of ischemic hepatitis and pancreatic abscess that occurred sequentially after elective AAA (abdominial aortic aneurysm) repair. The patient recovered with careful supportive management and external drainage without the graft becoming infected.
