Type II endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is frequently caused by persistent flow from the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). The aim of this study was to assess the perioperative and midterm efficacy of laparoscopic ligation of the IMA for treatment of endoleak. ⋯ Laparoscopic ligation of the IMA for treatment of type II endoleak after EVAR is a feasible and safe technique in specialized centers with high technical success rate and good midterm outcomes.
