title: Embolization of Onyx Causing Acute Limb Ischemia.
abstract: We present the case of a patient with a refractory type II endoleak treated with translumbar Onyx with passage of the Onyx material into the endograft and subsequent embolization to the infrainguinal vasculature. This report represents a new complication of Onyx embolization that, to our knowledge, has not previously been described in the literature.
