Abstract
A 71-year old man with previous thoracic aneurysm endovascular repair and endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair presented with simultaneous type III endoleak from the thoracic components and type Ia endoleak from migration of the abdominal endograft, leading to enlargement of both aneurysms. A custom-made reverse tapered Relay NBS thoracic endograft was used to bridge the thoracic stent grafts. While a low-flow type III endoleak persisted in the immediate postoperative phase, because of incomplete apposition of the new stent graft, further deployment of its nitinol skeleton resulted in resolution of the endoleak at 1-week follow-up. The abdominal aneurysm enlargement was corrected via excision of the central segment of the abdominal endograft, preservation of the distal main body and limbs, and interposition of a short Dacron tube graft.
