An endurant stent graft system was implanted into the patient for the endovascular treatment of an abdominal aorta aneurysm on an unknown date at an unknown location.Vessel morphology at the time of implant is unknown.The patient arrived via helicopter to trauma center.The ct revealed that the patient had an endurant stent graft system implanted with a type iii endoleak, separation between the contralateral 16x28 iliac limb and the 28x28x82 extension iliac limb.The physician implanted an endurant 16x18x124 iliac limb stent graft re-lining existing stent grafts at contra gate to contra limb overlap.The type iii endoleak, separation was resolved.It further was reported that a ct showed a type iii separation endoleak on the left side on an unknown date and angiogram confirmed the endoleak.The etlw1628c124e appeared to have separated from the distal extension.Intervention was performed with the addition of an endurant extension to bridge the separation and the endoleak was not observed again.The cause of the event is related to anatomy as per the physician due to the tortuosity of the left iliac.No additional clinical sequelae were reported and the patient is fine.
