Successful endovascular management of endoleak-like phenomenon following open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

Introduction: Endoleaks are a well-known complication after endovascular aortic repair. Type I endoleak-like phenomenon (also defined as a proximal pseudoaneurysm) post-open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair is described as an anastomotic leak causing recurrent pressurization of the original aneurysm sac. It is rare but may result in aneurysmal sac rupture into the peritoneal cavity.
