Endoleak: Treatment Options

Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2005
Endoleak, also called leakage, leak, and Perigraft leak, is a major complication and its persistence represents a failure of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). Its detection and treatment is therefore of primary importance since endoleak is associated with pressurization (increases pressure) of the sac, resulting in expansion and rupture of ...

Imaging of endoleaks

Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2001
The endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms is gaining widespread acceptance worldwide. It relies on the exclusion of the aneurysm sac from arterial pressure/blood flow to reduce the pressure within it and therefore prevent the fatal complication of rupture.

Endoleak Imaging

2008
Until 15 years ago, abdominal aortic aneurysm treatment involved major abdominal surgery in which a prosthetic graft was sewn into the aortic wall. As vascular surgeons were increasingly confronted with older patients with severe co-morbidity, attempts for less invasive aneurysm treatment were made. In 1991, Parodi et al.

Algorithm for the diagnosis and treatment of endoleaks

The American Journal of Surgery, 1999
Endoluminal grafting of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) has shown promising early results. However, endoleaks present a new and challenging obstacle to successful aneurysm exclusion. We report our experience with primary, persistent endoleaks and provide an algorithm for their diagnosis and management.Over a 19-month period, 73 patients underwent ...

Catheter-based treatments of endoleaks

Seminars in Vascular Surgery, 2004
At the present time, patients who have undergone endovascular aneurysm repair require lifelong surveillance. The purpose of this surveillance is threefold. First, has there been any change in the position of the endograft? Secondly, what is the status of the aneurysm sac? Thirdly, is there an endoleak?

What is the significance of endoleaks and endotension

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2004
Endovascular repair has been used over a decade as a treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm, and has become a widely accepted treatment method with a low rate of perioperative complications. Endoleak, perigraft blood flow outside endograft but within aneurysmsac, has been intensively studied during the last 10 years of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVR)
