We report on a 54-year-old man who presented with an atypical, proximal, intraoperative endoleak after endovascular aortic repair with an Ovation endograft for a 65-mm-diameter abdominal aortic aneurysm. The endografting was complicated by inadvertent bilateral iliac limb insertion into the right gate without cannulation of the left gate. The endoleak was treated by brachial approach: Through the open left gate, the outflow inferior mesenteric artery was coil embolized and the inflow left gate was closed with an Amplatzer plug. Follow-up computed tomography over 3 years showed absence of any endoleak and a stable diameter of the excluded abdominal aortic aneurysm.

In 2008 the overall rate of death attributable to cardiovascular disease, or CVD, is 244.8 per 100,000. On the basis of these mortality rate data, one American dies due to CVD on an average of every 39 seconds. Of these deaths, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) accounts for 11,079 [1]. Although an estimate of the total economic burden of AAA is not available, the average cost per discharge for a ruptured AAA exceeded $93,000 in 2003 [2]. Generally, an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an irreversible focal dilation of an artery to 1.5 times its normal diameter [3]. AAAs are characterized by the destruction of elastin and collagen in the media and adventitia, smooth muscle cell loss with thinning of the medial wall, infiltration of lymphocytes and macrophages, and neovascularization [4, 5].
