Postoperative radiology of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
This article addresses the imaging appearances following endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). EVAR is gaining popularity and hence there is increasing likelihood that radiologists who are unfamiliar with the procedure will report imaging investigations on these patients. We describe the technique, failure modes, complications, and postoperative imaging features of this procedure.
