Endovascular exclusion of a saccular aortic aneurysm using a septal occluder device.
Endovascular repair of aneurysms involving the visceral segment of the abdominal aorta still remains a challenge. We report a patient with a large saccular aneurysm involving the visceral segment of the abdominal aorta that was ultimately excluded by endovascular deployment of an Amplatzer atrial septal occluder device (AGA Medical/St. Jude Medical, St Paul, Minn).
