Angio PL.U.S. (PLanewave UltraSensitive Imaging) as a Novel Doppler Ultrasound Technique with Potential to Evaluation Endoleaks in Patients After Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR)

Introduction: This is a study designed to assess the effectiveness of the new Angio PLanewave UltraSensitive imaging (Angio PL.U.S.) method as a non-invasive alternative to Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) and Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) for endoleak detection and classification in patients followed up after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). The authors emphasize the potential role of Angio PL.U.S. in patients undergoing post-EVAR follow-up.
