title: The Roadside Technique for Type II Endoleak Embolization 4 Years after Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair.
abstract: Endoleaks are the most common cause of reintervention after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). Type II endoleaks have been implicated as a risk factor for expansion and rupture. Several techniques have been described to manage type II endoleaks, being transarterial catheterization the most commonly used. In some cases this technique can be difficult or impossible to achieve. We report the use of a technique that offers a direct access to the aneurysm sac and the possibility of catheterization of the involved vessels or the embolization of the communication between them, even 4 years after EVAR.
