ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate multi-channel transcatheter embolotherapy for type Ⅱ endoleak originating from lumbar arteries after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR).Methods:Data of 8 cases of type Ⅱ endoleak after EVAR from Oct 2017 to Nov 2020 at the Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Henan Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Results:All patients who suffered from type Ⅱ endoleak that originated from lumbar arteries after EVAR were successfully treated with coils and mixture of Compant medical glue and iodipin through multi-channel. The technical success rate was 100%, the operative time was 80-150 min. Right lower limb dyskinesia occurred in 1 patient after operation, the symptom disappeared by anticoagulation and trophic neurotherapy for 2 months. Type Ⅱ endoleak didn't recur in all patients, and no mortality during the 4-38(14.1) months follow-up period.Conclusion:Multi-channel transcatheter embolotherapy has definite effects for the treatment of type Ⅱ endoleak from lumbar arteries after EVAR, with high technical feasibility, few perioperative complications, low mortality among other advantages. The results of short and medium term are satisfactory.
