Abstract:
A type-2 endoleak after an endovascular aneurysm repair is the most prevalent type of endoleak, but as the clinical consequence of its diagnosis is uncertain, at present, management decisions are solely based on aneurysm sac growth. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of various computed tomography perfusion parameters for their ability to distinguish high-risk type-2 endoleaks from low-risk type-2 endoleaks after an endovascular aneurysm repair.
