Aortic Disease Activity in Patients With Endoleak After Endovascular Aneurysm Repair

Aortic aneurysm disease activity can be assessed using sodium [18F] fluoride positron emission tomography and increased aortic sodium [18F] fluoride uptake is associated with a higher rate of abdominal aortic aneurysm expansion and adverse clinical events. We aimed to establish whether increased aortic disease activity is associated with patients who developed an endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).
