Transgraft embolization by using long needle for the treatment of type II endoleaks after endovascular abdominal aortic repair

We used a long custom needle (LCN) to improve transgraft embolization (TGE) in 10 reported cases that underwent TGE with LCN for type II endoleak (T2E) treatment after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. TGE was performed with a LCN enabling the usage of microcatheter and embolization coi...

Sumario:We used a long custom needle (LCN) to improve transgraft embolization (TGE) in 10 reported cases that underwent TGE with LCN for type II endoleak (T2E) treatment after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. TGE was performed with a LCN enabling the usage of microcatheter and embolization coils in 10 cases with T2E after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Embolization was successfully achieved in the nidus in all 10 cases. The aneurysmal sac diameter significantly decreased by TGE, and none of the 7 of 10 cases exhibited recurrence of sac expansion or T2E throughout the 2-year follow-up period.
