Event or Problem Description

"treo implant was uneventful.During final run, we saw there was an endoleak, along with what appears as a tight left limb (reduced flow) at the gate level.Ruled out type 1 leak so focused on the connection area.Ballooned bilaterally using kissing techniques and decided to add a limb on the left side to cover what appeared to be a leak at the connection point.After the implant there was still a leak that was un-identifiable.The physician didn't love the look of the stents throughout so decided to add/re-enforce using bilateral 8mm vbx and post dilated using kissing 12 x 4 balloons.Limbs visually were open and had flow throughout.However, there was still a persistent leak.It looked as if there is a porosity leak (type4) because of how the sac filled with consistency, or maybe it could be a tear in the fabric causing a type 3.We exhausted all troubleshooting to identify where the leak was coming from with no success.The physician decided to let the patient leave and bring the patient back for a follow up cta within the next month to try and identify what's going on." patient outcome: "patient did need to come back to the operating room later that evening to due to a right limb clotting off.He ballooned and added another stent.".
