An endurant iis stent graft system was implanted during the endovascular treatment of a 69mm abdominal aortic aneurysm.It was reported approx.One month post index procedure, the patient presented emergently with a cold leg that had no pulse.It was d etermined that the evar limb had occluded.That patient was taken to the or for evaluation, and follow-up imaging revealed that the endurant stent graft limb (etlw1616c93e) was compromised due to the angle at which the right iliac artery branched off the aorta.The occlusion only affected the endurant stent graft limb (etlw1616c93e) and did not extend into the endurant bifurcated graft.A wire was passed into the stent graft, a thrombectomy was performed, and the endurant stent graft limb was relined with an alternative endurant limb (etlw1610c124e) landing in the external iliac artery.The endurant limb was reinforced with a non mdt(10x39) balloon expandable stent at the origin of the right common iliac artery.Blood flow to the right lower extremity was successfully restored.Per the physician the cause of the limb occlusion was anatomy related, due to the angle at which the right common iliac artery branched off the distal aorta.No additional clinical sequelae were reported, and the patient is fine.
