Key result
A comprehensive understanding of EVAR surveillance is necessary to identify life-threatening complications and to aid in secondary treatment planning.
A comprehensive understanding of EVAR surveillance using CT, ultrasound, and MRI is necessary to identify life-threatening complications and aid in secondary treatment planning.
Supports EVAR surveillance knowledge for detecting complications in practice; leaves open optimal multimodal imaging protocols.
OBJECTIVE: Lifelong postprocedural imaging surveillance is necessary after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) to assess for complications of endograft placement, as well as device failure and continued aneurysm growth. Refinement of the surveillance CT technique and development of ultrasound and MRI protocols are important to limit radiation exposure. CONCLUSION: A comprehensive understanding of EVAR surveillance is necessary to identify life-threatening complications and to aid in secondary treatment planning.
