title: [New Applications and Indications for Contrast-Enhanced Sonography in Endovascular Aortic Repair].
abstract: After edovascular repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms (EVAR) endoleaks may occur necessitating further therapy. Therefore a reliable method for follow-up imaging after EVAR for detection and control of endoleaks is of high importance. Contrast-enhanced sonography (CEUS) does not require the application of nephrotoxid contrast media and does not stress the patient. CEUS is increasingly used and enables a quick, non-invasive follow-up examination for patient after EVAR. In addition, interventions as therapy for endoleaks may be executed using ultrasound. Initial experience with CEUS-guided aortic stenting shows that the amount of contrast media as well as X-ray time may be reduced.
