ABSTRACT

Endoleak defined as residual blood flow in the “aneurysm sac” is the most frequent complication and occurs in 10 to 44% of all patients after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Based on the origin of the blood flow to the aneurysm sac there are 4 types: those with at less 10mm progression per year thought to be at risk of rupture and mandates correction. Screening for endoleaks is usually performed with CT or MR angiography. Endoleaks treatment is a real clinical challenge and until solutions are found, endovascular repair will remain an imperfect long-term treatment and continued follow-up will be mandatory.
Keywords: abdominal aortic aneurysms, endovascular repair, endoleaks
