The First Case of a Nellix Sac-Anchoring Endoprosthesis Removal for Aortoenteric Fistula

The Nellix device (Endologix, Irvine, CA), has been designed with a brand new concept to seal the abdominal aortic aneurysms, minimizing endoleaks and reducing reinterventions. We present the first open conversion of a Nellix endograft due to aortoduodenal fistula of a 74-year-old male patient treated for an abdominal aortic aneurysms of 62-mm diameter.
