Surveillance and Follow-Up After Aortic Aneurysm Repair: Best Practices and Emerging Technologies
Long-term imaging surveillance after aortic aneurysm repair detects endoleak, sac growth, and device-related issues. Protocols balance sensitivity against radiation and contrast exposure.
Read guideMedical
Endovascular Aortic Repair (EVAR): Techniques, Outcomes, and Advances in Minimally Invasive Aneurysm Management
EVAR excludes an aortic aneurysm from circulation using a stent graft delivered through the femoral arteries, offering lower early morbidity than open repair for suitable anatomy.
