Purpose: To report the successful endovascular occlusion of a persistent endoleak owing to collateral perfusion in a 1-year-old bifurcated aortic endograft. Methods and Results: An 81-year-old man underwent endovascular repair of a 5.5-cm abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with a bifurcated stent-graft in 1995; collateral perfusion of the excluded aneurysm by retrograde filling of the patent inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) was noted postoperatively. At his 1-year follow-up, the mid-sac endoleak persisted on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Using the superior mesenteric artery for access, the stump of the IMA was successfully embolized with glue. Conclusions: This case, which highlights the importance of documenting a patent IMA prior to AAA endografting, illustrates one option for the management of persistent collateral perfusion of endovascularly excluded aneurysms.
