Fig 1 In this saccular aneurysm model endoleak repair, (a) a saccular aneurysm (arrow) was created by a Dacron graft end-to-side to the descending. (b) The preoperative angiographic findings showed a type I endoleak (arrow).

Fig 2 The T-Fix system (Smith & Nephew Co, Ltd, London, United Kingdom) consists of (a) a 2-holed small plastic (polyacetal) bar, through which 2-0 nonabsorbable polyester suture is passed, is transported inside a spinal needle. (b) The needle is inserted, and the T-Fix plastic bar is deployed with a push rod. The plastic bar is anchored.
