Early type III endoleak with an Endurant endograft.
Summary of "Early type III endoleak with an Endurant endograft."
We report the case of an 81-year-old man who presented with an intraoperative type III endoleak after treatment with an Endurant endograft for a 60-mm abdominal aortic aneurysm. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a type III endoleak reported with this new device. It was most likely due to a tear in the polyester graft, the cause of which remains speculative. The tear was demonstrated by postoperative angiography, which was more informative than computed tomography. The endoleak was successfully treated by relining with an aorto-uni-iliac device.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Cockayne Syndrome
A syndrome characterized by multiple system abnormalities including DWARFISM; PHOTOSENSITIVITY DISORDERS; PREMATURE AGING; and HEARING LOSS. It is caused by mutations of a number of autosomal recessive genes encoding proteins that involve transcriptional-coupled DNA REPAIR processes. Cockayne syndrome is classified by the severity and age of onset. Type I (classical; CSA) is early childhood onset in the second year of life; type II (congenital; CSB) is early onset at birth with severe symptoms; type III (xeroderma pigmentosum; XP) is late childhood onset with mild symptoms.
Presenilin-1
Integral membrane protein of Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum. Its homodimer is an essential component of the gamma-secretase complex that catalyzes the cleavage of membrane proteins such as NOTCH RECEPTORS and AMYLOID BETA-PROTEIN precursors. PSEN1 mutations cause early-onset ALZHEIMER DISEASE type 3 that may occur as early as 30 years of age in humans.
Early Diagnosis
Methods to determine in patients the nature of a disease or disorder at its early stage of progression. Generally, early diagnosis improves PROGNOSIS and TREATMENT OUTCOME.
Endoleak
Postoperative hemorrhage from an endovascular AORTIC ANEURYSM repaired with endoluminal placement of stent grafts (BLOOD VESSEL PROSTHESIS IMPLANTATION). It is associated with pressurization, expansion, and eventual rupture of the aneurysm.
Early Detection Of Cancer
Methods to identify and characterize cancer in the early stages of disease and predict tumor behavior.
