Redo thoracic endovascular aortic repair due to endoleak with celiac artery snorkeling

Ann Vasc Surg. 2011 Oct;25(7):979.e1-5. doi: 10.1016/j.avsg.2011.05.018. Epub 2011 Aug 11.

Abstract

Reintervention due to endoleak of aortic endograft repair is often challenging. Herein, we report endovascular endoleak repair in a patient with previous thoracic and abdominal endovascular grafts with extensive coverage of the aorta. The present technique included snorkeling of the celiac trunk to preserve antegrade flow in the celiac artery and to maintain future options for reintervention.
