Successful treatment of a persistent type IA endoleak with endoanchors following chimney endovascular aortic repair

The chimney endovascular aortic repair technique has become an increasingly used option for the treatment of juxtarenal aortic aneurysms; however, type IA and gutter endoleaks complicate this approach in up to 5.9% of cases. Successful treatment of these leaks is challenging. We report a case of a patient who underwent two-vessel chimney endovascular aortic repair in the treatment of a 5.9-cm juxtarenal aortic aneurysm and developed a type IA endoleak. The endoleak was successfully treated with Heli-FX EndoAnchor placement. Resolution of the endoleak was noted at continued follow-up through 54 months.
