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.
