Abstract
We report a case of a late type III endoleak from a hole in the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft material of an Excluder bifurcated stent-graft approximately 12 months after implantation. The endoleak was successfully repaired by relining the defect site with an Excluder iliac limb. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of late graft-material related Type III endoleak involving the Excluder device.
