Key result
Strategies preventing Type 2 endoleaks after EVAR are crucial to reduce morbidity and additional procedures.
Why the study?
Type 2 endoleaks following endovascular aortic repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms may cause increased morbidity and require additional procedures, making risk identification and prevention strategies important.
Identifying predictive factors and implementing preventive strategies for Type 2 endoleaks is important to reduce morbidity and the need for additional procedures following endovascular aneurysm repair.
Prevention of Type 2 endoleaks may reduce reinterventions after EVAR; leaves open optimal strategies pending higher-level evidence.
Type 2 endoleaks are a potential complication of endovascular aortic repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms. They are caused by vessels that have been excluded from the aorta lumen, but may still fill the aneurysm sac due to collateral filling. Type 2 endoleaks may lead to increased morbidity and need for additional procedures. Being able to identify patients at risk for Type 2 endoleaks and prevent them is important for any physician who is performing endovascular aortic repair.
