The patient had been aortic event-free for 10\u2009years postoperation. However, the sac gradually enlarged after 10\u2009years and reached 55\u2009mm in diameter. Traditional contrast-enhanced CT showed an endoleak but could not be used in type determination (type II or III). Four-dimensional-CT enabled us to make a definitive diagnosis of a type IIIb endoleak; therefore, relining EVAR was performed as a reintervention. Postoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography confirmed disappearance of the endoleak.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Type IIIb endoleaks following EVAR are often difficult to diagnose using traditional modalities. Thus, 4D-CT may be useful in identifying endoleak types.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Impact<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case report highlights the effectiveness of four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) in diagnosing type IIIb endoleaks after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Traditional imaging methods often fail to accurately identify this type of endoleak, which can lead to aneurysm rupture if untreated. The use of 4D-CT allowed for a definitive diagnosis and timely reintervention, thus improving patient outcomes. Incorporating 4D-CT into post-EVAR surveillance protocols may enhance the detection and management of type IIIb endoleaks, potentially reducing the risk of complications and improving long-term patient prognosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/15266028251344806","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,27]],"date-time":"2025-06-27T07:10:08Z","timestamp":1751008208000},"page":"2768-2770","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Endovascular Aneurysm Repair for a Sac Enlargement Caused by Type IIIb Endoleak Diagnosed Using Four-Dimensional Computed Tomography"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-6891-0465","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Satoru","family":"Tomita","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenta","family":"Masada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazufumi","family":"Yoshida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yojiro","family":"Koda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yosuke","family":"Inoue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3545-8586","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yoshimasa","family":"Seike","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7887-0941","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Akiyuki","family":"Kotoku","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tetsuya","family":"Fukuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8378-2391","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hitoshi","family":"Matsuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(05)66627-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa042002"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","first-page":"53","article-title":"Endoleak after endovascular aortic repair: classification, diagnosis and management following endovascular thoracic and abdominal aortic repair","volume":"51","author":"Cao P","year":"2010","unstructured":"Cao P, De Rango P, Verzini F, et al Endoleak after endovascular aortic repair: classification, diagnosis and management following endovascular thoracic and abdominal aortic repair.
