Internal film review: review of pre-implant 3d recon report revealed that the patient had a 54 mm max diameter infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm.The right kidney was not visible in the images provided.The proximal aortic neck diameter ranged from 18-23 mm along a 33 mm length.The proximal aortic neck was not calcified but contained thrombus.The aortic neck was essentially straight.The distal aorta diameter measured ~ 13 mm.The right common iliac artery diameter ranged from ~ 10-14-12 mm along a 42 mm length.The left common iliac artery diameter ranged from ~ 10-9-9 mm along a 72 mm length.The right external iliac artery diameter measured ~ 8 mm.The left external iliac artery diameter measured ~ 7 mm.The iliac arteries were calcified and mildly angulated.Review of a single angio image during the implant procedure revealed that the patient has an endurant stent graft system implanted.The bifurcate was implanted with the top of the graft fabric covering the left renal artery.Although the ostium of the left renal artery appeared to be covered, contrast was still seen flowing into the left renal artery.The distal portion of the stent graft system was not visible in the image provided, so a complete assessment could not be performed.The bifurcate main body was essentially straight l-r.Per the calibrated catheter, the proximal bifurcate main body diameter measured ~ 18 mm l-r.No obvious stent graft issues were observed.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
