Event Description
|
Description of event according to article: the patient was treated endovascularly for a taa located directly distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery (lsa).A 42 x 220 mm tubular endograft (zenith, cook, taa) was inserted.A ct scan 4 days post procedure showed a distal collapse of the endograft without clinical symptoms.Ct after 2 months revealed a persistent endoleak.Angiography showed a retrograde perfusion of the aneurysm sac due to incomplete sealing at the collapsed distal stent-graft, with filling of the lsa.Transbrachial embolization of the origin of the lsa with multiple platinum coils was performed, followed by thrombosis of the aneurysm sac.Ct at 54 months showed a stable aneurysm diameter.Patient outcome: the stent graft showed distal collapse which lead to endoleak.This was treated by embolization of the lsa.
