Abstract

Over 20 years from the first endovascular aortic repair, endoleaks still represent a common problem, even with newer endograft generation. Numerous procedures can be adopted to manage these complications; relining of the endoprosthesis is a rational technique to treat type III and IV endoleaks. The absence of dedicated materials for these procedures forces the vascular surgeon to perform complex hybrid or endovascular interventions. In this case report, we aimed to evaluate our relining experience using the Nellix device in 5 consecutive cases.
