RESUMEN
An 88-year-old male underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) with the double-debranching and chimney technique for arch aortic aneurysm. When the aforementioned procedure was performed, the left common carotid artery was closed and transected, and the left subclavian artery was embolized and bypassed, respectively. However, postoperatively, the gutter endoleak persisted, and the aneurysm enlarged;therefore, requiring additional surgery. A skin incision was made on the left side of the neck, and the closed and dissected left common carotid artery stump was detected. A sheath was placed at the stump and an angiographic catheter and guidewire were used to retrograde cannulate the gutter beside the chimney graft, and coil embolization was performed. No endoleak was observed at postoperatively and 6-month follow up computed tomography( CT). We believe that embolization from a deblanched left common carotid artery stump is useful for endoleaks after TEVAR employing the chimney and debranching technique.
