To identify prevalence and evaluate outcomes of delayed endoleak (DEL) compared with early endoleak (EEL) after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR).
Data of 164 patients who underwent elective EVAR at a single center were retrospectively analyzed. DEL was defined as any type of endoleak that was first detected ≥ 12 months after EVAR. Patients who had < 1 year of follow-up were excluded. Endoleak was classified into a more aggressive category if a patient had > 1 type of endoleak. Analysis included 81 patients (82.7% male). Mean age was 73.1 years ± 9.3. Median follow-up duration was 43 months (range, 12-135 months).
Endoleak was present in 32 patients (39.5%), including 21 EEL (25.9%) and 11 DEL (13.6%). DEL consisted of 2 type I, 5 type II, 1 type III, and 3 type V (endotension). Median time to detection was 45 months (range, 15-60 months), and median follow-up duration was 62 months (range, 37-104 months). Compared with EEL, DEL had larger aneurysm diameters and higher rates of non-type II endoleak and reintervention. Type II DEL also required more reintervention procedures than type II EEL.
DEL had a noteworthy incidence and occurred late after EVAR. It predominantly consisted of non-type II endoleak and appeared to have more reinterventions than EEL. Meticulous long-term imaging surveillance to identify and manage DEL is critical.
确定血管腔内主动脉瘤修复术(EVAR)后延迟内漏(DEL)的发生率,并与早期内漏(EEL)的结果进行评估比较。
回顾性分析在单一中心接受择期EVAR的164例患者的数据。DEL定义为在EVAR后≥12个月首次检测到的任何类型的内漏。随访时间<1年的患者被排除。如果患者有>1种类型的内漏,则将内漏分类为更具侵袭性的类别。分析纳入81例患者(男性占82.7%)。平均年龄为73.1岁±9.3岁。中位随访时间为43个月(范围12 - 135个月)。
32例患者(39.5%)存在内漏,包括21例EEL(25.9%)和11例DEL(13.6%)。DEL包括2例I型、5例II型、1例III型和3例V型(内张力)。检测的中位时间为45个月(范围15 - 60个月),中位随访时间为62个月(范围37 - 104个月)。与EEL相比,DEL的动脉瘤直径更大,非II型内漏和再次干预的发生率更高。II型DEL也比II型EEL需要更多的再次干预手术。
DEL发生率值得关注,且发生在EVAR术后较晚时间。它主要由非II型内漏组成,似乎比EEL有更多的再次干预。细致的长期影像学监测以识别和处理DEL至关重要。
