“…In these latter studies, the proportion of type I endoleaks detected #30 days ranged from 59% to 86%. 7,12,14,30,31 Most of the endoleaks noted in the first 30 days are likely the result of a missed endoleak present at the time of the index operation, potentially secondary to technical error, improper graft sizing due to inadequate preoperative case planning as might occur without the use of centerline CTA reconstruction, or inadequate intraoperative imaging, such as when a portable C-arm rather than fixed imaging such as in a hybrid operating room, is used. Late endoleaks (>6 months) are more likely the result of aortic remodeling.…”
