Imaging for surveillance and operative management for endovascular aortic aneurysm repairs.

Imaging for surveillance and operative management for endovascular aortic aneurysm repairs. J Thorac Dis. 2017 Apr;9(Suppl 4):S309-S316 Authors: Lau C, Feldman DN, Girardi LN, Kim LK Abstract Endovascular aortic aneurysm repairs rely heavily on radiologic imaging modalities for preoperative surveillance, intraoperative management, and postoperative follow-up. Ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and angiography all have utility at different stages of management. Often one imaging modality compliments another by providing supplementary information. Data from the imaging exams must be synthesized into one coherent plan for managing patients with aortic aneurysms. PMID: 28540074 [PubMed - in process]
