Surveillance imaging modalities, including X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and angiography, are essential for detecting complications following endovascular aneurysm repair.
Surveillance imaging is crucial for detecting complications like endoleak, graft translocation, thrombosis, and infection following EVAR, with various modalities offering distinct advantages and drawbacks.
There is a significant risk of complication following endovascular abdominal repair (EVAR), including endoleak, graft translocation, thrombosis, and infection. Surveillance imaging is important for detecting EVAR complication. Surveillance modalities include conventional X-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, and conventional angiography, with inherent advantages and drawbacks to each modality. The authors present common complications following EVAR, and recent advances in the key modalities for surveillance.
Pandey et al. (2015) conducted a review in Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) complications. Surveillance imaging was evaluated. Surveillance imaging modalities, including X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and angiography, are essential for detecting complications following endovascular aneurysm repair.
