Abstract

Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) has become preferable treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms because of proven mortality reduction as well as complications reduction compared with open surgery. Endoleak remains a primary complication of EVAR, however, and occurs in 20 to 25% of the patients. EVAR patients thus undergo lifelong surveillance for the presence of aneurysm expansion and endoleaks usually via computed tomographic angiography. We describe the endovascular management of an enlarged aneurysmal sac size 3 years after EVAR due to combined endoleak of types 1 and 3. We needed to use a fenestrated aortic cuff, a main body graft extension, and an aortouniiliac converter device to seal the leak. This case highlights the potential challenges in identifying and treating type III endoleaks.
