Options for treatment of persistent aneurysm perfusion after endovascular repair.
Persistent aneurysm perfusion represents failure of endovascular repair. The leak may occur around either end of the prosthesis or through a collateral route. Most cases can be treated by endovascular means. Stents can be rotated, the prosthesis can be lengthened at either end, and collateral pathways can be occluded, all without recourse to open repair. This report describes the management of persistent aneurysm perfusion in five patients from a total experience of 32 cases of endovascular aneurysm repair.
