Abstract

A 75-year-old man with an enlarging abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) was found to have a Type II endoleak on follow-up computed tomography angiography (CTA) (Fig. 4.1). Using a transcaval approach, the aneurysm sac was accessed via the inferior vena cava (IVC) using a Rosh-Uchida needle under fluoroscopic and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance. Ethylene vinyl alcohol liquid embolic (Onyx®) was instilled into the sac via a microcatheter placed through a 5 F Kumpe catheter (Fig. 4.2). After embolization, as the microcatheter and base catheter were retracted into the IVC, Onyx® spilled into the IVC and became attached to the IVUS probe and guidewire (Fig. 4.3).
