Successful Treatment of Type 3b Endoleak after AFX Using TREO.

Late postoperative type 3 endoleaks associated with the AFX (Endologix, Irvine, CA, USA) stent-graft are commonly reported. The AFX's endoskeletal design raises concerns about wire entrapment between its frame and fabric, as well as a risk of type 1a endoleak. An 84-year-old man with prior EVAR using the AFX presented with a type 3b endoleak 4 years postoperatively. He underwent relining with the TREO stent-graft (Terumo Aortic, Sunrise, FL, USA), which enabled easy contralateral gate cannulation and secured a long proximal landing zone. The TREO appears to be a viable option for relining the AFX in type 3b endoleak cases.
