Endovascular management of a significantly kinked aortomonoiliac stent graft.
We report our endovascular management of a highly kinked aortomonoiliac stent graft. This complication is unusual because kinks generally occur in bifurcated stent grafts and they are managed with extra-anatomic bypass. We will then expose the possible reasons for such complication. With long term follow-up severe kink might be reported more often.
