We report a case in which an aortouniiliac revision for a type IIIb endoleak of a primarily implanted AneuRx bifurcation endograft for infrarenal aortic aneurysm repair caused a renewed type IIIa endoleak 2 months after revision. The type IIIa endoleak was successfully repaired with a bridging endoprosthesis. In this report, we discuss the pitfalls that should be considered when aortouniiliac revision procedures are performed for type III endoleaks in bifurcated endografts.
