Endoleaks are a common complication in patients who have undergone endovascular stent-graft repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The management of these complications depends on the type of endoleak seen at follow-up imaging, with embolization being generally accepted treatment option for Type 2 endoleaks in certain clinical scenarios. Endovascular endoleak embolization can be arduous, time-consuming, and require large amounts of iodinated contrast during the angiographic procedure. This article describes a novel use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound as a clinical problem-solving tool in the preprocedural planning of patient undergoing an endoleak embolization.
内漏是接受腹主动脉瘤血管内支架移植物修复术患者的常见并发症。这些并发症的处理取决于随访成像中所见内漏的类型，在某些临床情况下，栓塞通常被认为是治疗2型内漏的选择。血管内内漏栓塞可能艰巨、耗时，并且在血管造影过程中需要大量碘化造影剂。本文描述了超声造影在接受内漏栓塞患者的术前规划中作为临床问题解决工具的新用途。
