Late type IIIb endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair: case report and review of the literature.
PURPOSE To report a case of type IIIb endoleak developed six years after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). CASE REPORT A 75-year-old man underwent successful Talent™ stent-graft positioning to treat a 53 mm abdominal aortic aneurysm. Subsequently the patient did well and yearly routine control computerized tomography (CT) was unremarkable. Six years later the patient sudde...
متن کاملDuplex ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound versus computed tomography for the detection of endoleak after EVAR: systematic review and bivariate meta-analysis.
INTRODUCTION Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) has become the 'gold-standard' imaging modality for surveillance following EVAR. However repeated CT causes cumulative contrast related renal injury. Duplex ultrasound (USS) and contrast-enhanced (non-nephrotoxic) duplex scanning (CEUS) are less invasive but considered less accurate than CT. The aim of this study was to determine the diagn...
متن کاملLate Type 3b Endoleak Mimicking Type 2 Endoleak after Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair
Endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair has been widely used for the treatment of AAA as a safe and efficient method, but endoleaks causing persistent expansion of aneurysm sac may cause aneurysmal rupture and death. Type 3 endoleak is rare but a predominant cause of late rupture. Type 3b endoleak can be misdiagnosed as type 2 endoleak, which is more frequent. Here we report two cas...
متن کاملBuerger's disease (thromboangiitis obliterans): clinical features and assessment by colour duplex ultrasound
Buerger's disease is a progressive, nonatherosclerotic, segmental inflammatory vasoocclusive disease of unknown aetiology1-9, affecting the small and medium sized arteries, veins and nerves and is often bilateral5-7. The normal structure of the vessel wall is usually preserved, including the internal elastic lamina and media. Buerger's disease predominantly affects male cigarette smokers1-3,8 w...
متن کاملComparison of Colour Duplex Ultrasound with Computed Tomography to Measure the Maximum Abdominal Aortic Aneurysmal Diameter
Introduction. Maximum diameter of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the main indication for surgery. This study compared colour duplex ultrasound (CDU) and computed tomography (CT) in assessing AAA diameter. Patients and Methods. Patients were included if they had both scans performed within 90 days. Pearson's correlation coefficient, paired t-test, and limits of agreement (LOA) were calcul...
