Endoleak is a known complication of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). The purpose this study was to identify trends in the development late endoleak based on initial aneurysm sac behavior. We analyzed 1631 patients who underwent EVAR for abdominal at single center between 2001 and 2020. Patients were stratified into no leak or groups then further grouped by behavior: expansion, stabilization, ...

Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a condition that the size of aorta increased more than 1.5 times in normal size. The most clinical symptom abdominal pulsatile mass, pain and back pain. Rupture major life-threatening complication. Endovascular repair (EVAR) preferred minimally invasive technique for treatment aneurysms recent years. Type III endoleak rare mortal complication EVAR. Persistent hiccup...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the technical feasibility and clinical efficacy of percutaneous transabdominal treatment of endoleaks after endovascular aneurysm repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2000 and 2007, six patients with type I (n = 4) or II (n = 2) endoleaks were treated by the percutaneous transabdominal approach using embolization with N-butyl cyanoacrylate ...

PURPOSE To determine, based on preoperative imaging findings, which patients treated with endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair are at high risk for the development of persistent type II endoleaks. MATERIALS AND METHODS Preoperative computed tomography (CT) angiographies of 136 patients, treated endovascularly, were retrospectively examined for possible anatomic predictors of type II endolea...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to report our early experiences with the endovascular repair of ruptured descending thoracic aortic aneurysms (rDTAAs), which are a rare and life-threatening condition. METHODS Among 42 patients who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) between October 2010 and September 2015, five patients (11.9%) suffered an rDTAA. RESULTS The mean age ...

Internal iliac artery (IIA) aneurysms, while rare, carry a significant risk of mortality if they rupture. Endovascular intervention is now the preferred method of treatment for IIAs; however, due to technical considerations, this is not always feasible. We report a case of a patient who developed an enlarging IIA aneurysm in association with a type 2 endoleak supplied by multiple feeding arteri...

We present the case of a 76-year-old Caucasian man with a type 1 endoleak at the proximal edge of a thoracic stentgraft (Talent 38 mm × 114 mm) detected four years after endovascular treatment of a large symptomatic saccular aneurysm in the distal aortic arch. The patient refused any interventional treatment for the endoleak and remained on medical therapy with no evolving symptoms. Surveillanc...
