Abstract

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) requires long-term surveillance to monitor for complications. From 2006, University Hospital Limerick (UHL) has collected information on patients undergoing surveillance following the endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms or iliac aneurysms. Surveillance with colour Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) is utilised to detect post-operative complications. This study seeks to determine the occurrence of complications post-EVAR, analyse reintervention rates, and evaluate the diagnostic performance of CDUS and CTA in the detection of endoleaks.
