2 Figure 1 (a) Reformatted CT angiogram showing a type 1a endoleak (thick arrow) arising from the SMA scallop and a type 3 endoleak (thin arrow) arising from the right renal artery fenestration. (b) Reformatted CT angiogram. Note the destruction of the posterior wall of the aorta (dotted arrows). (c) PET CT image showing an area of avid FDG uptake centered around the aneurysm sac and endograft (thick arrow).

3 Figure 2 (a) Intra-operative picture showing the creation of a fenestration into the graft (thick arrow) using cautery (thin arrow). (b) Intra-operative picture showing the fenestrations re-enforced with nitinol rings (thick arrow) and sutured radio-opaque markers (thin arrow). (c) Reformatted CT angiogram 2 weeks post-procedure, showing good graft position, patent target vessels and no endoleak.
