Transcatheter Embolization of Type IA Endoleak after Nellix Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Sealing with N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate: Technique in Three Patients

The successful transcatheter treatment of a type IA endoleak after endovascular aortic aneurysm sealing with the Nellix EndoVascular Aneurysm Sealing system (Endologix Inc, Irvine, California) using proximal covered stent extension and transarterial N-butyl cyanoacrylate sac embolization is described. Three patients were treated using the same technique with a mean interval between the index procedure and reintervention of 9.3 months (range, 3-15 mo). No complications or endoleaks were seen on follow-up imaging. The mean follow-up time after reintervention was 10.3 months (range, 7-13 mo).
