  • Title: Modular component separation and reperfusion of abdominal aortic aneurysm sac after endovascular repair of the abdominal aortic aneurysm: a case report.
    Author: Maleux G, Rousseau H, Otal P, Colombier D, Glock Y, Joffre F.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 1998 Aug; 28(2):349-52. PubMed ID: 9719332.
    Abstract:
    Transluminal placement of a stent graft in patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm is a new endovascular technique that offers a potentially less invasive and less risky alternative to open surgery. Complications after stent graft placement are not infrequent, but in most cases secondary endovascular intervention is successful. We describe a late major leak in the aneurysmal sac caused by a distal migration of the iliac limb of a bifurcated graft. This late complication was successfully treated by covered stent placement, excluding and thrombosing completely the reformed aneurysm.
