Abstract:
We report the case of a 74-year-old man who developed type IA endoleak after endovascular thoracic aortic repair. The patient was admitted with expansion of the aneurysm after TEVAR, for additional therapy. Fluoroscopy and cone-beam computed tomography-guided direct transthoracic sac puncture and complete embolization of the endoleak channels with metal coils and glue were performed, and resulted in complete exclusion of the endoleak. One month after the coil embolization, the type IA endoleak was completely excluded, and the thoracic aneurysm had decreased in size.
