Abstract
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become an accepted alternative to open aortic aneurysm repair. Endoleaks are one of the most common complications of EVAR and can result in aneurysm enlargement and rupture. When embolization of type 2 endoleaks is needed, a transarterial or translumbar approach may be used. Metal coils are often utilized, but liquid agents have also been used for embolization. This case report involves endoleak embolization using metallic coils along with the liquid embolic agent n-butyl cyanoacrylate (n-BCA).Entities:
