Abstract | Although transarterial embolization is recognized as a treatment for type 2 endoleaks, it can occasionally be challenging. We report the case of an 86-year-old man who presented with an enlarging thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm following thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Using a triaxial system with a 1.3-F microcatheter, transarterial embolization of a type 2 endoleak was successfully performed through a long and tortuous arterial route comprising the thoracodorsal and ninth intercostal arteries. The postoperative clinical course was uneventful, and computed tomography obtained six days later showed no endoleak in the thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. This case suggests the usefulness of a triaxial system with a 1.3-F microcatheter for transarterial embolization of type 2 endoleaks. |
