Abstract: | OBJECTIVES: To examine the risk of high-flow type II endoleak following endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm with aortocaval fistula. DESIGN: Case reports. SUBJECTS: Two patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms with aortocaval fistula. METHODS: Both patients had an endovascular repair of their aortic aneurysms. RESULTS: The aneurysms were successfully treated in both patients, without any endoleak on completion angiography. Apart from a transient type II lumbar endoleak in one of the patients, no endoleak was found after 3 and 12 month follow-up. Seven other cases have been published, reporting one type II and one type Ic endoleak. CONCLUSION: We found no evidence that endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm with aortocaval fistula is associated with a higher incidence of persistent endoleak. |
