Abstract
An 81 year-old man presented with an asymptomatic juxtrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm and was subsequently treated with a fenestrated endovascular Anaconda stent-graft. Surveillance imaging within the first postoperative year demonstrated a lower proximal sealing ring fracture. In the second postoperative surveillance year, the upper proximal sealing ring was also fractured with extension of the wire into the right paravertebral space. Despite these sealing ring fractures, there were no endoleak nor visceral stent complications and the patient continued on standard surveillance protocols. There are an increasing number of reports of fractured proximal sealing rings with the fenestrated Anaconda platform. Those analysing the surveillance scans of patients treated with this device should stay vigilant for the development of this complication.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Endovascular Therapy (formerly the Journal of Endovascular Surgery) was established in 1994 as a forum for all physicians, scientists, and allied healthcare professionals who are engaged or interested in peripheral endovascular techniques and technology. An official publication of the International Society of Endovascular Specialists (ISEVS), the Journal of Endovascular Therapy publishes peer-reviewed articles of interest to clinicians and researchers in the field of peripheral endovascular interventions.
