• Type I endoleak
- Proximal or distal attachment
• Type II endoleak
- Retrograde branch flow
• Type III endoleak
- Structural defect or component junction
• Type IV endoleak
- Trans-graft leakage or porosity

Prevention of Type I Endoleak
• Case Selection
• 20 % oversizing of the endograft.
• Generous overlapping of segments.
• Graft covers the aorta and common iliac arteries from the renal arteries down to the iliac artery bifurcation.
![Page 5: Endoleaks : graft extension or coil embolization ?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814bf1550346895db8db7f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Possible reasons of having low incidence of Type I endoleaks:
• No procedure was considered finished until complete sealing of the endograft was obtained.
• Sealing of the ends and connections was achieved by applying balloon dilatation, cuffs and malleable stents at the ends ( Extra-large Palmaz)

Prevention of Type II Endoleak: Lumbar Artery Embolization

WHEN SHOULD TYPE II ENDOLEAKS BE TREATED?
“If the endoleak continues to be present on the 6-
month scan, there is a small chance that it will spontaneously thrombose”
• Treat a type II endoleak if there is evidence of sac enlargement
• Intervene if a type II endoleak is present on the 6-month scan regardless of the status of an aneurysm sac
6-month CT scan

ENDOLEAK ANATOMY
• Simple: small cavity and has ingress and egress from a single vessel
• Complex: multiple ingress and egress vessels
![Page 13: Endoleaks : graft extension or coil embolization ?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814bf1550346895db8db7f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Blood enters during systole into the endoleak cavity, swirling around, leaving the endoleak cavity during diastole
• Physiology similar to a pseudo-aneurysm• May spontaneously
thrombose prior to the 6-month CT scan
ENDOLEAK ANATOMY“Simple”
![Page 14: Endoleaks : graft extension or coil embolization ?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814bf1550346895db8db7f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ENDOLEAK ANATOMY“Complex”
• Multiple ingress and egress vessels
• Behave like arteriovenous malformations
• Persists longer than 6 months.

How to treat Type II Endoleaks:Embolize the artery feeding the endoleak
cavity by a transarterial route ?
• This technique has proved ineffective, providing only short-term response if the sac can not be reached by the embolic agent.
• Endoleaks will recur by recruiting additional aortic branch vessels.
![Page 16: Endoleaks : graft extension or coil embolization ?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814bf1550346895db8db7f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The endoleak cavity acts as an “Arteriovenous malformation nidus,” and thrombosing this nidus is what provides a successful and durable response.

How to treat Type II Endoleaks:translumbar needle stick ?
• Coils and glue to completely thrombose the endoleak cavity
• Instead of treating feeding vessels, the endoleaks themselves are being embolized
• The connection between ingress and egress vessels, as well as the endoleak cavity, is destroyed

Management of Endoleaks
• Type I: Immediate treatment. Balloon,Cuff, Palmaz or Conversion to Open Procedure.
• Sealed Type I: If large Treat ,If small Watch. If size does not decrease Treat.
• Type II: Treat after 6 months if aneurysmal size do not decrease.
• Late Type I or III: Treat immediately.

Results
• The treatment of the AAA was technically successful in all animals with total exclusion of the sac
• The AAA sac acquired a firm rubberish consistency after treatment
• Fibrosis and calcifications were detected within the sac, mostly around the graft and in contact with the aortic wall after 4 to 6 weeks.
• There was inflammatory reaction to the Dacron material and to the polymer (to a lesser extent)
• Significant adhesion of the AAA with surrounding structures was observed
![Page 34: Endoleaks : graft extension or coil embolization ?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814bf1550346895db8db7f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Results
• After 4 to 6 weeks there is a tendency for shrinkage of the AAA sac, apparently maximized by the 24th week
• There was no sac recanalization in the follow up time ranging from 1 to 24 weeks
• The controls at 6 and 12 weeks showed shrinkage of the AAA sac (histology not ready yet)

Conclusions
• pGlcNAc Glucosamine in the gel form is an unique hemostatic material
• Promotes rapid clotting within the AAA sac• Also effective under systemic anticoagulation• Effective aneurysm sac filling with occlusion of branches as necessary • Easy to use and cost effective• It seems to have gradual longer term absorption allowing
AAA shrinkage over a period of 24 weeks but not before 6 weeks
• Experience is necessary for volumetric measurement• A human trial is warranted
