Ultrasound Surveillance is Feasible After Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
Introduction: Surveillance after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is traditionally performed with computed tomography (CT) scans. US surveillance has been used as part of the surveillance protocol in our centre since 2011. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether US is able to detect post-EVAR complications as well as CT. Furthermore, freedom from cancer-related mortality was compared.
