Endoleakage after endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms: Diagnosis, significance and treatment

Jafar Golzarian et al. Eur Radiol. 2006 Dec.

Abstract

Endoleak, also called leakage, leak and Perigraft leak, is a major complication and its persistence represents a failure of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair. Its detection and treatment is therefore of primary importance, since endoleak can be associated with pressurization (increase in pressure) of the sac, resulting in expansion and rupture of the aneurysm. The aim of this paper is to discuss the definition, significance, diagnosis and different options to treat endoleak.
