Abstract

A ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) can be a life-threatening condition. When AAAs are discovered, they are repaired via endovascular techniques. Endovascular repair of AAAs offers a decrease in operative mortality when compared with open repair of AAAs. However, this technique has given birth to postoperative endoleaks. An endoleak allows for continued pressurization of the AAA and therefore leads to continued growth and rupture risk. Radiology plays an integral part in the diagnosis and management of postoperative endoleaks after endovascular repair of AAA.
