Abstract

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) requires lifelong surveillance for potential complications, including endoleak, change in aneurysm size, graft migration, structural graft failure, and limb outflow impairment. Duplex ultrasound is noninvasive, safe, and cheap, and has been shown to be a valuable tool for EVAR surveillance. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the use of color flow ultrasound in aortic endografts and present the evidence supporting EVAR follow up with duplex scanning.
