Fig 1 Schematic diagram of retrograde (type II) endoleak treatment. A, The prosthetic aneurysm (A) is sewn as an interposition graft in the infrarenal aorta. Paired lumbar arteries are reimplanted onto the aneurysm as a Carrel patch. The strain-gauge pressure transducer (T) enables intra-aneurysmal pressure determination. B, The retrograde (type II) endoleak is created by deploying a stent graft (SG) coaxially through the aneurysm to exclude it from antegrade perfusion. C, Polyurethane foam (PUF) is implanted into the aneurysm sac at the same setting once the distal end of the SG has been deployed through the endovascular graft (EVG) catheter. The PUF delivery catheter is positioned within the aneurysm sac before deployment of the stent graft and is withdrawn after deployment.

Fig 2 A, Intraoperative photograph of aneurysm creation. The lumbar arteries (yellow arrow) have been anastomosed to the posterior aspect of the prosthetic aneurysm by using a Carrel patch. The pressure-transducer cable can be seen exiting the anterior aspect of the aneurysm. B, Coronal magnetic resonance angiogram before aneurysm exclusion.

Fig 3 Polyurethane foam implant (Biomerix, Rockville, Md) and delivery system. The self-expanding polyurethane foam is extruded from the delivery catheter. The delivery system is composed of coaxially placed catheters and push rods. Journal of Vascular Surgery , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2005 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

Fig 4 Intraoperative angiography during polyurethane foam (PUF) implantation. A, Intraoperative angiogram demonstrating placement of a PUF implant-loaded catheter (small white arrow) via the contralateral femoral artery. Note the patent lumbar arteries (black arrows). The PUF may be visualized as filling defects within the aneurysm sac (large white arrows). B, Completion angiogram demonstrating complete exclusion of the aneurysm without retrograde flow from implanted lumbar arteries.
