Purpose: To describe the successful treatment of a Moyamoya type II endoleak (T2EL) using n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) assisted by intra-arterial carbon dioxide (CO2) flow modulation in a patient with post-endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR) aneurysm sac enlargement. Case Report: An 84-year-old woman developed progressive aneurysm enlargement due to a refractory Moyamoya T2EL 5 years after EVAR with an AFX II stent graft. Angiography demonstrated persistent retrograde perfusion through the inferior mesenteric artery via complex vasa vasorum-dominant collaterals. Because of unfavorable flow dynamics for embolization, CO2 was intentionally injected to transiently suppress antegrade flow from the sigmoid artery, generating a controlled to-and-fro pattern. Under these hemodynamic conditions, NBCA was carefully administered, resulting in complete occlusion of the endoleak without reflux or non-target embolization. Follow-up computed tomography (CT) at 1 year confirmed stable sac size with no re-dilation.
