Chimney endovascular aortic repair is a viable salvage technique in a paravisceral pseudoaneurysm secondary to acute on chronic pancreatitis.

Background: Pseudoaneurysms of the abdominal aorta secondary to pancreatitis are an extremely rare clinical entity, however, can result in life threatening complications.
Objective: To describe a chimney endovascular aneurysm repair (Ch-EVAR) for an acute pancreatitis related paravisceral aortic pseudoaneurym.
Method: Prospective data collected from subject.
Results: We present a case of 23-year-old female who underwent a successful salvage Ch-EVAR for a ruptured paravisceral pseudoaneurysm secondary to acute on chronic pancreatitis.
Conclusion: Ch-EVAR may present a viable temporizing or definitive therapeutic treatment option for a paravisceral pseudoaneurysm, particularly in the setting of acute pancreatitis. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the long term viability of Ch-EVAR grafts in the suprarenal, paravisceral aortic position.
