Article Synopsis
- A 78-year-old man with a history of abdominal infrarenal aortic surgery 20 years ago shows worsening aneurysm conditions, as seen in a CT scan.
- The scan reveals degeneration in the infrarenal aorta, a left iliac aneurysm, and a new descending thoracic aneurysm near the aortic arch.
- The surgical intervention was performed in two phases: first, both the thoracic and infrarenal aneurysms were treated with endoprostheses, and four years later, a branched iliac endograft addressed the iliac aneurysm.
Endoleak treatment after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) can be difficult and complex. The key to success lies mostly in the accurate interpretation of imaging tests. We describe the case of a patient who was urgently operated on due to an episode of acute arterial ischemia in the left lower limb for stent-graft iliac limb thrombosis and a proximal type I endoleak.

Design: An analysis of venous duplex scans performed on patients referred for treatment of primary VVs.
Methods: A total of 2036 limbs were evaluated, looking for the origin of VVs in the saphenous systems and in the perforating vein (PV) systems, as well as for the presence of non-saphenous reflux.
