Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the application of multi-slice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA) after endoluminal exclusion of aortic diseases.
METHODS16-slice CT angiography was performed in 15 patients with aortic dissection and 4 patients with aortic aneurysm after endovascular exclusion. Two observers analysed the images and interpreted the outcomes and complications after endovascular exclusions of aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm.
RESULTSIn 19 patients, thrombus was found in all the false lumens of aortic dissection and the outer-stent cavity of aortic aneurysm. However, one patient with aortic aneurysm graft thrombosis; 4 patients had endo-leak (3 with type I endo-leak, 1 with type III endo-leak complicating graft deformation); one achieved perfusion recovery, and one experienced thrombolysis of superior mesenteric artery.
CONCLUSIONMSCTA can be an objective tool for the post-operative evaluation of endovascular exclusion of aortic diseases.
