Key result
Familiarity with the classification scheme for endoleaks after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is essential to identify cases requiring urgent catheter-based evaluation.
This review highlights the imaging findings of endoleaks post-EVAR and emphasizes the importance of recognizing types that require urgent catheter-based evaluation.

Promotes endoleak classification awareness in post-EVAR imaging; leaves open effects on intervention rates or outcomes.
OBJECTIVE: With increasing use of endovascular techniques for repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms, the prevalence of leakage into excluded aneurysm sacs (endoleaks) as a complication has risen. We will describe and illustrate the imaging findings for endoleaks involving abdominal aortic aneurysms. We will also discuss which types of endoleaks require urgent catheter-based evaluation. CONCLUSION: Radiologists should be familiar with the classification scheme for endoleaks and understand which types of endoleaks require urgent catheter-based evaluation.
