Duplex Ultrasound for Evaluation and Surveillance of Fenestrated, Branched, and Parallel Stent-Grafts

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Duplex ultrasound is an integral part of the evaluation and surveillance of patients who are treated for complex aortic aneurysms with fenestrated, branched, or parallel stent-grafts. The main goal is to identify target vessel stent complications that can lead to branch occlusion or endoleak. Typically, surveillance programs combine computed tomography angiography with duplex ultrasound scanning. This chapter focuses on technical aspects, diagnostic interpretation criteria, and examples of normal and abnormal findings in patients with fenestrated and or branched endografts.
