The three-dimensional flare geometry of the Gore Viabahn VBX BECS was assessed on the first and second postoperative CTA scans, and geometrical changes during this period were identified. For BECS that were diagnosed with a type 3c endoleak or occlusion, the BECS geometry was analyzed to detect geometrical components that were related to the complication. Geometric analysis of the flare may help to better detect and identify the cause of such complications.
