Current Management of Endoleaks Following Endovascular Repair (Atkins MD, Bavare MD) October 4, 2021

Comprehensive overview of endoleak classification, surveillance strategies, imaging modalities, and evidence-based management after endovascular repair of abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms, with emphasis on evolving complexity from branched and fenestrated endografts. KEY LEARNING CONCEPTS • Standardized endoleak classification guides risk stratification and treatment urgency • Imaging choice should be tailored to the clinical question, with dynamic CTA playing a key role in complex or unclear endoleaks • Type I and III endoleaks require prompt intervention due to direct pressurization of the aneurysm sac • Type II endoleaks are managed based on sac behavior rather than presence alone • Long-term surveillance is essential, as delayed endoleaks and graft-related changes can alter management FOR MORE INFORMATION HM Academic Institute: https://www.houstonmethodist.org/acad...
