An endurant stent graft system was implanted in the patient for the endovascular treatment of a 5.2cm abdominal aortic aneurysm.Aneurysm and vessel morphology was reported as the proximal neck diameter was 23mm and 15mm in length.During the initial discussion prior to the procedure, the physician discussed the possibility to place the main body via left side; however, a review of the film gave the impression that the length was 160mm on the right side and the device would foreshorten through tortuosity; therefore, the physician decided the right side instead.During the index procedure the main body landed 5mm below the left lowest renal artery resulting in a slight type ia endoleak.The physician added a 28 cuff and the endoleak was resolved.It was also noted that the physician inadvertently covered the right hypo due to a combination of landing a bit low and the length was closer to 150mm.The cause for the inaccurate delivery is unknown.No intervention has been planned.No additional clinical sequelae were reported and the patient will be monitored by the physician.
