Endovascular repositioning of a migrated stent graft using "endoanchor capture"

Ann Vasc Surg. 2015 Jan;29(1):123.e1-5. doi: 10.1016/j.avsg.2014.05.017. Epub 2014 Jun 11.

Abstract

Endovascular aneurysm repair is increasingly used to treat patients harboring abdominal aortic aneurysms with severe comorbidities that make them unfavorable candidates for open repair. Graft-related complications in these patients also require unique solutions. We report the novel technique of "endoanchor capture" for successful repositioning of a migrated stent graft.
