Fig 3 A, Preoperative computed tomography scan reconstruction shows a type II endoleak (T2E) originating from both lumbar arteries (LAs) and the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). B, Postoperative scan reconstruction shows the range of bilateral lumbar clips (thick arrow) and the IMA clip (thin arrow) in the absence of endoleak.
