Abstract
Summary: A case of a symptomatic type Ib endoleak following popliteal artery aneurysm repair with successful interventional therapy introduces a short review of the limited literature to this relevant potential complication. Illustration of important factors supporting endoleak formation after endovascular popliteal artery repair and recommendation of a consequent surveillance are discussed.
