Intra-operative computed tomography in endovascular aneurysm repair.

CONCLUSIONS: The current body of evidence suggests that intra-operative CT is superior to completion angiography at detecting clinically important EVAR complications and incurs a lower total radiation dose with no added risk of contrast-induced renal impairment. Further research directly comparing the two modalities in the same cohort is required to determine sensitivity for individual complications. PMID: 31904305 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
