An endurant ii stent graft system was implanted in a patient for the endovascular treatment of a 37mm diameter abdominal aortic aneurysm.It was reported that during the index procedure the bifurcate contralateral gate did not open fully at deployment.It was noted that due to this cannulation of the contralateral limb was difficult and time consuming.The issue was resolved with the use of the up and over aortic bifurcation snare technique and implant of a limb extension.As per the physician, the cause of the event cannot be determined.No additional clinical sequelae were reported and the patient is fine.
