Detection of Late Complications After Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair and Implications for Follow up Based on Retrospective Assessment of a Two Centre Cohort.

CONCLUSION: Approximately a quarter of the patients developed complications, the majority of which were asymptomatic, underlining the importance of adequate surveillance. There was good agreement between CTA and DUS in detecting complications. Clinically significant complications related to inadequate seal were missed by DUS, suggesting that CTA still plays an important role in EVAR surveillance.
