Recently, endovascular repairs for aortic aneurysms have
become highly popular particularly in high-risk patients.
Despite growing experience and knowledge in this field,
certain problems are still to be solved. Endoleak is the
most common complication after endovascular procedures.
Endoleak can be defined as incomplete sealing of the
aneurysm sac, resulting in continuous pressure on the
aneurysm cavity and persistent rupture risk. Several
methods are available for the management of proximal
and the distal type 1 endoleaks. In this article, we present
a 61-year-old male case who underwent aortic banding for
the repair of type 1b endoleak.
