What are the predominant causes and management options for late rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm after previous endovascular repair?
What are the predominant causes and management options for late rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm after previous endovascular repair?
Graft-related endoleaks are the main cause of late AAA rupture post-EVAR, highlighting the critical importance of post-EVAR surveillance and the feasibility of endovascular re-intervention.
Graft-related endoleaks appear to be the predominant causes of late aneurysm rupture. Quality of and compliance with post-EVAR surveillance are important factors in late rupture; a large proportion of late ruptures are amenable to endovascular treatment.
