Proximal aortic dilation following open and endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is a well-known phenomenon. If severe enough, it may lead to late onset of type Ia endoleak that jeopardizes the proximal seal.
We report the case of a patient previously treated by EVAR for an infrarenal aneurysm who developed a type Ia endoleak after proximal aortic dilation. His aneurysms enlarged to 10 cm mandating a rapid repair without the delay for a custom-made device.
We successfully used the off-the-shelf thoracic t-Branch graft (Cook, Bloomington, IN) with its 4 branches to treat the dilated aorta and seal the endoleak.
The off-the-shelf t-Branch is a useful option in patient with previous EVAR presenting with proximal aortic dilation and endoleak who cannot wait for a custom-made device.
开放及血管腔内主动脉修复术(EVAR)后近端主动脉扩张是一种众所周知的现象。如果严重到一定程度,可能会导致Ia型内漏的晚期发生,从而危及近端密封。
我们报告了一例曾接受EVAR治疗肾下动脉瘤的患者,该患者在近端主动脉扩张后出现Ia型内漏。其动脉瘤增大至10厘米,需要迅速修复,不能等待定制装置。
我们成功使用了现成的带4个分支的胸段t型分支移植物(库克公司,印第安纳州布卢明顿)来治疗扩张的主动脉并封闭内漏。
对于先前接受过EVAR治疗、出现近端主动脉扩张和内漏且无法等待定制装置的患者,现成的t型分支移植物是一种有用的选择。
