Abstract
Introduction We present a case with acute DIC probably caused by a type I endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Case report An 84-year-old male underwent elective EVAR of a 7cm sized infrarenal aortic aneurysm and developed five months later an acute DIC associated with an endoleak type I. After successful endovascular stent-graft extension the DIC resolved. Discussion Endoleak type I is not described to be related to DIC, however as the endovascular stent-graft extension did abolish both, endoleak and the DIC in our case. We therefore suggest that a type I endoleak can cause acute DIC.
