Diagnosis of Endoleaks (Alan Lumsden, MD, Ponraj Chinnadurai, MBBS) May 21, 2019

Focused review of endoleak diagnosis after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, emphasizing advanced, task-specific imaging strategies—particularly dynamic CT—to accurately characterize flow patterns, identify inflow and outflow vessels, and guide procedural planning. KEY LEARNING CONCEPTS Type II endoleaks are the most common and diagnostically challenging due to complex inflow–outflow dynamics Dynamic, time-resolved CTA improves detection and characterization compared with static arterial and delayed phases Pre-implant and post-implant imaging must be systematically reviewed to differentiate true Type I/III endoleaks from Type II Precise identification of culprit branch vessels is critical to avoid non-target or ineffective interventions Image fusion and 3D planning enable accurate, minimally invasive access paths for endoleak evaluation and treatment FOR MORE INFORMATION HM Academic Institute: https://www.houstonmethodist.org/acad...
