- Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is widely used for treating descending thoracic aortic issues, known for its low reintervention rate and high success, but it has potential complications like endoleak and ischemia.
- An 80-year-old patient, initially treated for a thoracic aneurysm, experienced complications post-surgery, including a type III endoleak that led to further interventions and urgent repairs.
- After multiple attempts to address the endoleak, the patient faced a transient ischemic attack, highlighting the need for ongoing management of TEVAR complications and strategies for their resolution.
