Retrospective comparative study on differences in presence of gas in the aneurysm sac after EVAR in early post-operative period between carbon dioxide flushing technique and saline flushing of the delivery-system

Presence of gas is a frequent finding on early postoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) with unclear clinical relevance. The aim of this study was to examine and compare the presence of gas within the aneurysm sac following EVAR on early postoperative CTA after the use of carbon-dioxide (CO2) flushing technique with saline flushing alone.
