Novel technique for inline orientation of disarticulated limbs to seal type III endoleaks

Abstract

In this report, we present a novel maneuver used to align disarticulated limbs to resolve a type III endoleak. The patient, a 77-year-old man, initially underwent endovascular abdominal aortic repair for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm in 2017. During routine annual duplex ultrasound in 2022, a late type III endoleak was identified. A novel method of using current techniques was applied, allowing for successful limb graft repair. Managing the longitudinal care of endovascular grafts is an evolving aspect of endovascular repairs. This case report demonstrates the ability to preserve the original endograft repair and ensure the safety of the aneurysm sac.
