The patient was initially implanted with a bifurcated stent graft and a suprarenal aortic extension to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa).Approximately four (4) months post initial procedure, there was greater than 75% stenosis in the right iliac limb found on ultrasound (not within the stent).The physician elected to implant a medtronic assurant cobalt 8x30 (non- endologix) bare metal stent to resolve this event.Approximately four (4) years post initial procedure a type 1b endoleak with sac growth was identified.The physician elected to implant a non-endologix illiac limb to resolve this event.Additionally a type 2 endoleak via right iliolumbar branch was identified and the physician elected to embolize it to resolve this event.The patient status is unknown at this time.
