Stent-Graft Relining by Combined Aortic Cuff with Double-D Technique for Type IIIb or V Endoleak after Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: A Case Report

We report the case of a 83-year-old man with aneurysmal sac enlargement after endovascular aneurysm repair for an abdominal aortic aneurysm, despite no overt endoleak (EL) detected on imaging. Occult type II EL was suspected, and treatment was performed. However, the aneurysm continued to enlarge. T...

Sumario:We report the case of a 83-year-old man with aneurysmal sac enlargement after endovascular aneurysm repair for an abdominal aortic aneurysm, despite no overt endoleak (EL) detected on imaging. Occult type II EL was suspected, and treatment was performed. However, the aneurysm continued to enlarge. Thus, we diagnose with type V EL as exclusion diagnosis. We combined an aortic cuff and stent-graft leg to cover the initially inserted stent graft, as a diagnostic treatment for unrefined type IIIb EL. Subsequently, the aneurysm diameter decreased. This technique and concept may be effective for type V EL, which may include another type occult EL.
