A technique for endograft relining of a type IV endoleak using a surgeon-modified internal gate

Ann Vasc Surg. 2015 Jan;29(1):123.e13-7. doi: 10.1016/j.avsg.2014.07.030. Epub 2014 Sep 16.

Abstract

Type IV endoleaks represent a rare etiology of late endograft failure; however, depending on the location, they can be extremely challenging to repair with endovascular solutions. We present a method of endograft relining that preserves antegrade limb perfusion, avoids extra-anatomic reconstructions, and ensures complete endograft exclusion.
