An endurant ii s stent graft system was implanted in a patient for the endovascular treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm and right common iliac artery aneurysm.It was reported that during the index procedure positioning of the endurant stent graft was difficult and after deployment in the tortuous anatomy, the angiogram showed a type ia endoleak and that the left renal artery was blocked by the stent graft.It was reported the cause of the type ia endoleak and left renal artery blockage is unknown.Intervention was performed with the implantation of a non mdt stent graft over the suprarenal stents but the endoleak persisted.A snorkel was implanted in the left renal artery to restore blood flow.Due to the length of procedure the physician didn't proceed with trying to cannulate the right renal artery and final angiogram showed a patent left renal artery.An endoleak was observed proximally - possible type ia or type iv.No additional clinical sequelae were reported and the patient is being monitored.
