Table 1 Frequency of type II endoleak according to the patency of IMA and number of patent LA.
| Number of patent LA with diameter≧2.0 mm | ||
|---|---|---|
| none or 1 | 2 or more | |
| Occluded IMA | 8.3% (1/12) | 50.0% (1/2) |
| Patent IMA with diameter<2.5 mm | 46.2% (6/13) | 66.7% (2/3) |
| Patent IMA with diameter≧2.5 mm | 87.5% (14/16) | 66.7% (2/3) |
The frequency of type II endoleak was about 90% when IMA with diameter≧2.5 mm was patent regardless the number of patent LA with diameter≧2.0 mm. When IMA with diameter<2.5 mm was patent or 2 or more LA with diameter≧2.0 mm were patent, type II endoleak was detected about half of patients. IMA: inferior mesenteric artery; LA: lumbar artery
