Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy caused by type II endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair in severe aortic stenosis

Abstract

72-year-old man with severe aortic stenosis (AS) presented with a type II endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Laboratory findings were consistent with disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) with thrombocytopenia. The platelet count increased slightly after aortic valve replacement but fully recovered with the reversal of DIC after surgical repair of the type II endoleak.
