IV: Flow into the aneurysmal sac secondary to graft porosity.
V: Flow into the aneurysmal sac from an unknown source

62

residual sac that appears spongey (heterogeneous with hypoechoic areas) with increased sac size

when the aneurysm continues to expand due to persistent or recurrent pressurization in the absence of an endoleak

65
Q

What are benefits of aortic duplex?

A

low cost and low risk alternative to CT, in some studies are as effective as CT, can accuarately monitor residual aneurysm sac size, demonstrate graft and limb patency, identify endoleaks and leak source, detect graft limb dysfunction and kin, detect migration of stent graft device, and shows hemodynamic information

66
Q

When scanning and EVAR, how many passes should be made?

A

three- the first looking in trv at the graft only
the second in long
the third with endoleak only

67
Q

What are the pitfalls of imaging an EVAR?

A

68
Q

How many times should you look at the EVAR with color Doppler?

A

twice
the first to look at the graft and the second for the endoleak
