Abstract
We report the case of a 79-year-old man who was admitted to our department with acute limb ischemia due to the occlusion of the left iliac limb of an Endurant endograft. The admission computed tomography angiography revealed also a type IIIa endoleak due to modular disconnection of the iliac extensions from the right iliac limb of the endograft main body. Interestingly, during the 4-year post-endovascular aneurysm repair period, an increased kinking of the right limb has been observed leading to an almost cross-limb configuration of the limbs at the time of complications. To our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature of the simultaneous presence of limb thrombosis and late type IIIa endoleak with this particular device. The ischemia was treated with a femoro-femoral cross-over bypass, and the endoleak was corrected with the position of 2 Endurant iliac limb extensions bridging the dislocated endograft pieces.
