ABSTRACT
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has emerged as a viable alternative to open repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms. Endoleaks are a complication unique to EVAR and can occur in up to 25% of patients. In this article, the management of endoleaks following EVAR will be discussed.
KEYWORDS
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) - endoleak - embolization
