Film evaluation summary: the exact cause of the proximal type i endoleak could not be determined from the films provided.The anatomy at implant is unknown, and earlier post-implant films were not available for comparison.Ct¿s returned from 25 months post-implant revealed that the bifurcate was positioned just below the lowest right renal artery within the severely angulated and calcified proximal neck, and there was ~10mm of remaining proximal seal length.The infrarenal neck and proximal portion of the bifurcate aortic body were acutely angulated ~75deg lt-rt between covered stent rings #2 & 3, with associated significant stent ring overlap seen along the right/inner curvature between stent rings 2 ¿ 3.The maximum aaa diameter measured 70mm, and contrast was seen within the proximal sac coming from between the proximal neck and the left side (outer curvature) of the bifurcate from a likely proximal type ia endoleak.It appears likely that an insufficient proximal seal was anatomy related caused by the angulated, short, and calcified proximal neck.It is possible that disease progression and/or aneurysm morphology changes may have also contributed.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
An endurant ii stent graft system was implanted in a patient for the endovascular treatment of a 66mm diameter abdominal aortic aneurysm.It was reported that during a follow up ct scan approximately 2 years post the index procedure a type ia endoleak was detected.Per the physician, the cause of the event cannot be determined.No additional clinical sequelae were reported, and the patient will be monitored.

Additional info received: an endurant cuff and 10 endoanchors were implanted during a secondary procedure 6 weeks post first observation of the endoleak.It was reported that 10 endoanchors were first used in the bifurcate and after the cuff was placed a further 3 were placed to try to resolve the type ia endoleak.The type ia endoleak was reduced significantly but failed to resolve.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
