Event Description

On (b)(6) 2023, this patient underwent an endovascular treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm using gore® excluder® aaa endoprosthesis.The devices were placed as aorto-uni-iliac (aui) stent grafting.The contralateral leg hole was intentionally covered by two aortic extenders.The vessel condition was not good, so balloon touch-up was performed lightly.The final angiography showed a type iiia endoleak around the contralateral leg hole.No treatment was given and a wait-and-see approach was taken.On (b)(6) 2024, a reintervention was performed for the endoleak.An endurant aui stent graft was additionally implanted to reline the excluder devices.The patient tolerated the procedure.Reportedly, there was no aneurysm enlargement but the reintervention was performed by the physician¿s judgement as he wanted to control the endoleak.
