| Device | Technical failure |
|---|---|
| t-Branch | Emergency laparotomy as a result of bleeding from the LRA |
| t-Branch | LRA dissection subsequently occluded with an Amplatzer plug |
| t-Branch | Type 1c EL from the LRA at the final angiogram that did not resolve within 30 days |
| CMD | The CT branch was used for RRA stenting, and the RRA branch occluded with an Amplatzer plug |
| CMD | Type 3a EL by misplacement of the left iliac stent graft outside the main body inverted limb |
| CMD | Type 1a EL in the thoracic aorta caused by bad proximal ceiling |
LRA = left renal artery; EL = endoleak; CT = coeliac trunk; RRA = right renal artery.
