Duplex Ultrasonography and its Use in Surveillance Post-EVAR
After endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR), patients require annual surveillance with either CT scan or duplex ultrasonography (DU). These studies should be used to identify patients who require reintervention for EVAR complications. DU, a less expensive and radiation free option, has been shown to accurately predict aneurysm sac size and endoleak. In addition, using criteria of PSV<300 c...
متن کاملIs routine duplex ultrasound surveillance after carotid endarterectomy cost-effective?
BACKGROUND Although duplex ultrasound surveillance of patients after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is routinely performed, the use of this policy has been questioned. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of this strategy. METHODS Using a decision-analytic Markov model that depicts the natural history of patients after CEA, we compared a strategy of duplex ultrasound surveillance to a strategy o...
متن کاملSimplifying post-EVAR surveillance.
Surveillance after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is costly and a burden for the patient. Imaging is performed to detect stent-graft failure from endoleak or haemodynamic obstruction. Presently, computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is considered the gold standard for post-EVAR surveillance, as it has the potential to visualise most threats to stent-graft durability, such as migration, ki...
متن کاملRedo-EVAR After Surgical Repair in Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is an adequate means for treating infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). However, secondary interventions are required in approximately 15% to 20% of patients. The aim of this paper was to report our knowledge with stent grafts in secondary interventions after EVAR in a 73-year-old patient. One of the exceptional complications of EVAR are endoleaks whic...
