On (b)(6) 2022, this patient underwent an endovascular treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm using gore® excluder® aaa endoprosthesis.After all devices were implanted, a distal type i endoleak in the right leg was identified.An additional contralateral leg endoprosthesis (plc231000j/(b)(4)) was implanted in the right leg.The distal type i endoleak was resolved.The patient tolerated the procedure.On (b)(6) 2022, a follow-up cta revealed a pseudoaneurysm in the distal portion of the right common iliac artery.On (b)(6) 2022, the right internal iliac artery was coil embolized and a contralateral leg endoprosthesis was implanted to extend the right leg to the external iliac artery.The physician stated that the pseudoaneurysm might have been caused by excessive ballooning using gore® molding & occlusion balloon catheter in the contralateral leg endoprosthesis in the initial procedure to attempt to resolve the distal type i endoleak.
