Event Description
|
On (b)(6) 2012, the patient underwent endovascular treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm using a gore® excluder® aaa endoprosthesis.On (b)(6) 2022, gradual enlargement of the aneurysm was observed.Abdominal ultrasonography reportedly revealed a proximal type i endoleak.It was suggested that type i appeared because the seal zone became shorter as the diameter of the aneurysm enlarged.On (b)(6) 2022, the patient underwent reintervention whereby additional stent grafts were implanted to extend the device system proximally, and to extend the bilateral limbs distally to prevent future type ib endoleak.The patient tolerated the procedure.
