134)  Answer
D. Acute renal failure
Rationale
•During a AAA repair, a stent graft is placed in the aorta to support the lumen and reduce pressure on the aneurysm sac. If the stent graft is placed wrong, it can block the renal arteries and cause renal failure.
•Hemorrhage is more common before the AAA repair, when the aneurym ruptures.

•Emboli and infection are also complications of a AAA repair, but they are less common than renal failure.
