Abstract:
Endoleak is the most common complication after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Endoleak can increase the size of the aneurysm and eventually lead to the rupture of aneurysm. The abdominal aorta and stent in patients after EVAR need to be regularly followed up. CTA has been widely used to detect endoleak after EVAR at present. In recent years, the role of ultrasound in detection and classification of endoleak after EVAR has been more and more recognized. The progresses of ultrasonography in diagnosis of endoleak after EVAR were reviewed in this article.
