An endurant ii stent graft system was implanted for the endovascular treatment of a 6.7 cm in diameter ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.The vessel morphology was reported as the proximal aortic neck as 25 mm in diameter, and 29 mm in diameter 40 mm below renal artery.It was reported that a ct revealed a proximal type i endoleak and that the proximal bare stent (suprarenal fixation) got pulled down.At the index procedure it did not appear that the suprarenal struts were inverted.However the recent ct revealed that the proximal component of the bifurcated stent graft folded in on themselves.It was reported that this most likely happened when removing catheters and wires at the end of the index procedure.The physician elected to implant an endurant cuff 32x32x49 and the proximal type i endoleak was resolved.No additional clinical sequelae were reported and the patient is fine.
