Abstract

Type IIIB endoleaks resulting from endograft fabric tear are an uncommon but serious late complication of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair. The Strata fabric used in the earlier generation AFX endograft (updated to Duraply in October 2014) has been associated with an increased frequency of these events. Herein we report on two patients exhibiting delayed type IIIB endoleaks after AFX device insertion to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm and discuss optimal relining techniques.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
