Abstract
Purpose
We presented a new method of sac embolization using n-butyl-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) with balloon occlusion of the aorta (SEBOA) that can facilitate decreasing flow rate of the involved branches with the goal of type 2 endoleak resolution after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR).
Technique
This technique is demonstrated in six patients who required type 2 endoleak treatment including previous technical failure. A transarterial approach was performed in four patients and transabdominal direct puncture in two. Technical success was defined as complete embolization of both involved branches and sac on postoperative CT. Sacography under balloon occlusion of the aorta demonstrated decreased flow rate of the all involved branches in all patients. SEBOA was performed using 25 or 33% of NBCA diluted with lipiodol. Technical success was obtained in 3 of 6 patients, and one major complication was observed with adhesion of NBCA to the microcatheter resulting in foreign body retention.
Conclusion
SEBOA may help solve the difficulty of type 2 endoleak treatment after EVAR as decreased flow rate of the involved branches under balloon occlusion of the aorta was achieved in all patients. However, protocols regarding concentration of NBCA or using other embolic materials are needed to improve the success rate.
