Valiant navion stent grafts were implanted during the endovascular treatment of a thoracic aortic fusiform aneurysm.During the index procedure 2 endurant limbs (etlw1616c156e & etlw1624c156e) were implanted.An additional endurant limb (etlw1616c199e) was implanted bridging the valiant graft and visceral bypass of the ipsilateral limb of the bifurcated device was completed.2 non mdt stents were implanted in the leia and post dilated with a non mdt balloon.The max aortic diameter was noted as 107mm; the aneurysm size was noted to have had increased with the stent graft noted as patent.A type ii endoleak was observed and a type iiia endoleak was observed at the sma with a disconnection from the manifold.Non mdt stents were implanted from the manifold to the sma for the disconnection it was reported a follow-up ct identified a type ii endoleak.The patient was hemodynamically unstable and was admitted with a possible graft infection and anaemia.An mra demonstrated an increased size of the aneurysm sac and a type iiia endoleak at the sma.The image showed a disconnection from the manifold.The infection led to sepsis and multi-organ failure and eventual death.As per the physician the cause of the type ii and iiia endoleak are undetermined.The cause of death was due to hemodynamic instability with sepsis leading to multi-organ failure and death.No additional clinical sequalae was provided and the patient has expired.
