Angiossarcoma mimetizando endoleak tardio pós-reparo endovascular de aneurisma de aorta infrarrenal: relato de caso

Resumo Em todo paciente submetido a reparo endovascular do aneurisma de aorta abdominal (REVA) que se apresente subitamente com quadro de dor abdominal ou sinais de choque, a hipótese de endoleak ou vazamento, com expansão do aneurisma e ruptura deve ser aventada. Apresentamos o caso de um paciente em pós-operatório de REVA que apresentou uma neoplasia de duodeno mimetizando um endoleak

Embolization by micro navigation for treatment of persistent type 2 Endoleaks after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair

Background:Endovascular repair has become established as a safe and effective method for treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. One major complication of this treatment is leakage, or endoleaks, of which type 2 leaks are the most common.Objective:To conduct a brief review of the literature and evaluate the safety and effectiveness of embolization by micronavigation for treatment of type 2 endoleaks.Method:A review of medical records from patients who underwent endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms identified 5 patients with persistent type 2 endoleaks. These patients were submitted to embolization by micronavigation.Results:In all cases, angiographic success was achieved and control CT scans showed absence of type 2 leaks and aneurysm sacs that had reduced in size after the procedure.Conclusion:Treatment of type 2 endoleaks using embolization by micronavigation is an effective and safe method and should be considered as a treatment option for this complication after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms
