1 Direct insertion of Amplatzer plugs to control lumbar arteries during open repair of type II endoleaks  Kimberly Evans, MD, Anne C. Kim, MD, William C.

2 Fig 1 Duplex scan of the endoleak shows the patent lumbar artery (white arrow) arising from the posterior aneurysm sac, between the iliac graft limbs. Bidirectional flow in the lumbar artery is shown in the spectral display. Endoleak flow from posterior to anterior is seen along the left side of the aneurysm sac.
