Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Scrotal necrosis is an extremely rare complication following endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Sloughing of scrotal skin and penile necrosis owing to therapeutic hypogastric artery occlusion for endoluminal aortoiliac aneurysm repair have been documented. We present herein one case of scrotal necrosis following endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. The presentation of combined scrotal necrosis, buttock ischemia, lower extremity livedo reticularis, and left blue toes with palpable pulses in the posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis arteries suggested that microembolization during endovascular aneurysm repair was the major cause of the devastating ischemic complications in this patient.
