The patient presented with a thoracic aortic aneurysm.During the procedure, a solo path sheath was used to successfully implant a conformable gore® tag® thoracic endoprosthesis.When removing the solo path sheath, the left external iliac artery was torn.An occlusion balloon was used to stop the bleeding and two gore® viabahn® endoprosthesis were implanted to treat the external iliac artery tear.Final angio confirmed the vessel tear was sealed and good flow was present through the two gore® viabahn® endoprosthesis.After the initial procedure was completed, the patient started to move around and "coded." an angio revealed a new vessel tear 2cm distal to the previously placed gore® viabahn® endoprosthesis.Two additional gore® viabahn® endoprosthesis were placed to treat the new vessel tear.
