In the medical literature, "multi-component parallel endografts at complex tevar may be prone to modular dislocation causing novel endoleaks: a tale of two cases" was reviewed.Two cases of complex thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (tevar) with endoleakage due to modular dislocation of multi-component left subclavian parallel endografts in periscope configuration were reported.In this case, a (b)(6) man presented with a chronic type b aortic dissection with combined true and false lumen diameter of 65 mm.He was treated by tevar using a dedicated type b aortic dissection "petticoat" device (alpha thoracic, cook aortic intervention), and a three-piece left subclavian arterial periscope using three 13mm x 10cm gore viabahn endoprostheses with propaten bioactive surface.There were no endoleaks on the completion angiography.It was stated that a computed tomography angiogram at 4 weeks revealed a 7mm modular disconnection in the upper overlap, although the lower one was intact.The gap was bridged by percutaneous deployment of another 13mm x 10cm gore viabahn endoprosthesis with no further complications.
