EVAR with Embolization of the Right Internal Iliac Artery Using IMPEDE

IMPEDE using Shape memory polymer was approved as a new embolic material in Japan, February 2020. We report a case of an 82-year-old man who was performed the superior and inferior gluteal arteries embolization with IMPEDE (IMP-10) prior to EVAR.

Summary:IMPEDE using Shape memory polymer was approved as a new embolic material in Japan, February 2020. We report a case of an 82-year-old man who was performed the superior and inferior gluteal arteries embolization with IMPEDE (IMP-10) prior to EVAR. Although it is necessary to examine the timing and frequency of contrast for confirming embolism in order to prevent the delay of thrombus formation, post-operative CT has few artifacts and it is easy to evaluate endoleak. We considered that IMPEDE is useful embolic material.
