Portal hypertension with bleeding esophageal varices and infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms are relatively common problems. This report describes a patient with a recent upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage from esophageal varices secondary to portal hypertension as well as the presence of an asymptomatic 7 cm abdominal aortic aneurysm. Treatment consisted of splenectomy, splenorenal shunt and repair of the abdominal aortic aneurysm with a knitted Dacron graft. We know of no other case similar to this reported in the literature. A discussion of the approach to a patient with both conditions is presented.

A 73-year-old male patient was found to have an abdominal aortic aneurysm complicated with bilateral common iliac artery aneurysms. He also had hepatitis C, chronic liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh class B), a rupture of esophageal varices, hepatocellular carcinoma, and intractable ascites. The functions of other systemic organs were also impaired. We first performed a right internal iliac artery coil embolization prior to stent graft implantation combined with a left external-internal iliac artery bypass. These additional procedures allowed for safe treatment with stent graft implantation, without any serious complications.
