Multi-detector CT angiographic imaging in the follow-up of patients after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR)

Abstract: BackgroundMultidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography represents the standard of reference in the follow-up of patients after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR), being effective in the detection of the full spectrum of possible complications on both axial and 3D images.MethodsThe purpose of this article is to review the normal CT angiography findings of the different types of stent-grafts and to describe the radiological findings of early and late complications after EVAR on axial an… Show more

“…Many patients require reintervention during the middle and long-term follow-up because of procedurerelated complications [38]. For this reason, surveillance of these patients is crucial to determine the long-term performance of these devices [9]. Commonly employed CT surveillance protocols recommend regular scans at 1, 6 and 12 months post-implantation and at yearly intervals thereafter.…”

“…6) [25e27]. EL is a common procedural failure due to persistent flow outside the graft within the aneurysm sac causing further enlargement and rupture of the aneurysm sac itself [9,28,29]. CT protocol considered most reliable in detecting complications consists of a triphasic protocol including unenhanced, arterial phase (30-s delay), and delayed (120-to 300-s delay) phases, and it has been preferred for post-EVAR surveillance [8,9,25].…”
