Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was previously implanted with a bifurcated stent grafts and a suprarenal stent graft extension to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa).At time of implant an 1b endoleak was observed.Ballooning was performed and the endoleak decreased in size.The physician decided to monitor the patient.Ten (10) days later, a computerized tomography (ct) scan was preformed and the 1b endoleak was still present.An intervention was performed the following day.The physician decided to implant a limb stent extension and coil embolization with ballooning was performed.An intraoperative 3a endoleak was slightly observed but the leak did not flow into the aneurysm so the physician decided to finish the procedure and continue to monitor the patient.
