Repair of a late endoleak following complete proximal endograft fixation strut separation

Introduced as an alternative endograft for those with unfavorable anatomy, bare metal suprarenal fixation barbs have been widely used for endovascular abdominal aortic repair. Type I endoleaks result in continued perfusion of the aneurysm sac and warrant prompt reintervention. We describe an unusual presentation and endovascular management of a late type IA endoleak secondary to complete separation of the suprarenal fixation struts in a Cook endograft after an uncomplicated, emergent infrarenal endovascular abdominal aortic repair 5 years earlier.
