Fig 1 Image shows sideways displacement and uncoupling of the endograft main body and proximal extension. Note the absence of contrast within the aneurysm sac despite the type IIIa endoleak.

Fig 2 Three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) reconstructions illustrate centerline and greater curvature measurements (green lines) and endograft component overlap at 3 months and 37 months after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Note endograft uncoupling and type IIIa endoleak along the greater curve (white arrows).
