Radiological evidence such as the presence of air bubble within the excluded aneurysmal sac in the early post-procedure period of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) might be an important finding of infection, even in the absence of any symptoms; and thereby, it should be monitored closely.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Although technological improvements have increased, EVAR is still not free of complications during or after EVAR-procedure.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Infection complication during EVAR is considered quite rare, and contamination during the procedure is proposed the foremost reason.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Radiological evidence such as the presence of air bubble within the excluded aneurysmal sac in the early post-procedure period of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) might be an important finding of infection, even in the absence of any symptoms; and thereby, it should be monitored closely.
