title: Characterization of endoleak following endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
abstract: Aneurysm models have been developed to study the pathobiology of abdominal aortic aneurysm and to evaluate the efficacy of endovascular therapy. The purpose of this review is to describe the use and limitations of current animal and experimental models for the characterization of endoleak following endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
