Stent placement in the management of proximal endoleak after endovascular exclusion for abdominal aortic aneurysms / 介入放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the value and safety of stent placement in treating proximal endoleak after endovascular exclusion for abdominal aortic aneurysms.Methods Three patients with primary endoleak and one patient with secondary endoleak underwent implantation of stent. Stents were deployed below renal artery in 1 case and cross bilateral renal arteries in 3 cases. Results In all 4 patients, the stents were successfully implanted and the endoleaks were completely occluded. No complications such as renal function damage, stent shift or endoleak reappearance were observed. Conclusion Stent placement appears to be a feasible, effective and safe treatment option for endoleak after endovascular exclusion for abdominal aortic aneurysms.
