Event Description

Graft disruption/ blood leakage/ pseudoaneurysm (suspected): in 2007, a thoracoabdominal aortic replacement was performed using the gelweave coselli thoracoabdominal graft.In (b)(6) 2023, angiographic ct showed what appears to be a pseudoaneurysm near the celiac branch of the graft.On (b)(6) 2024, an attempt was made to locate the pseudoaneurysm during intravascular angiography, which showed leakage from the junction of the main graft body and the celiac branch of the coselli graft.When a catheter was advanced to near the anastomosis of the celiac branch of the graft and the celiac artery, the catheter passed through out of the graft and a disruption was confirmed at the junction of the main graft body and the celiac branch of the coselli graft.The physician initially planned to implant a covered stent additionally and complete the procedure but due to leakage at the junction, he decided that implantation of an additional covered stent would not be effective and determined to treat the patient in a different way later and terminated the procedure.
