Abstract

The aim of this study was to report the occurrence of a type IIIb endoleak after endovascular repair of a thoracic aortic aneurysm caused by endoanchor dislocation. An 84-year-old female patient underwent thoracic endovascular repair for aneurysmal disease of her thoracic aorta. The procedure included primary left subclavian artery revascularization and the placement of endoanchors to enhance fixation of the endograft within the aortic arch. Dislocation of one of the endoanchors resulted in a graft defect leading to a type IIIb endoleak and aortic diameter expansion. Endoanchors represent a promising adjunct in endovascular repair settings. However, their use requires careful procedure planning and special attention during follow-up.

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.

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.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
