Endoleak management warrants dedicated post-EVAR protocols; Level 5 review leaves open optimal embolization strategies.
This review discusses the management of endoleaks, a complication occurring in up to 25% of patients following endovascular aneurysm repair.
White et al. (2009) studied this question. Endovascular aneurysm repair is complicated by endoleaks in up to 25% of patients, requiring specific management strategies such as embolization.
