Abstract
In the modern endovascular era, abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is still not free of complications with re-interventions following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) being more common than with open surgical repair. A variety of endovascular, open surgical and combined techniques were described according to the anatomical considerations and general health of the patient to achieve the best possible result after these complications. In cases of type Ib endoleak following aorto-uni-lateral EVAR for an abdominal aortic aneurysm, the use of the internal branched device (IBD) constitutes a safe and effective technique.
