5 Fig 4 A, Gore Excluder device converted to open surgery (3 years after endovascular aneurysm repair performed at a different center) for aneurysm (from 7 to 9 cm), possibly owing to trans-graft passage of fluid from the aortic lumen to the sac. B, The perigraft gelatinous material is absent in the neck areas (*) and in the overlapping zone of the graft (arrow), suggesting a role of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene porosity in its formation.
