A reliant balloon was used in conjunction with a non - mdt stent graft in the endovascular treatment of a abdominal aortic aneurysm and the right common iliac aneurysm.It was reported that during the index procedure when performing the deployment on the proximal side of main body of the non-mdt stent graft, the proximal end of this device was implanted slightly obliquely.After all the devices were implanted, ballooning was performed for the whole device with a reliant balloon.It was reported that it would be better if ballooning was performed only once, but the diameter and number of expansion were not excessive.After that, ballooning was performed again on the proximal side of the main body with the same balloon, when the proximal side of main body was checked by imaging, the dissection near the proximal edge of main body was suspected.A non-mdt aortic cuff was additionally implanted on the proximal side of the implanted main body to repair the dissection.Contrast examination showed disappearance of blood flow in the dissected cavity.As per the physician the cause of the event is unknown but was not considered procedural or a product issue.No additional clinical sequalae were provided and the patient is fine.
