Nellix endoprosthesis is a novel and increasingly utilised device for aorto-iliac aneurysm repair, with unique CT appearances that alter with time and are prone to misinterpretation. We present a pictorial review based on our institutional experience of more than 60 Nellix cases. 1-Review the NELLIX device: principle, materials and procedure of deployment. 2-Understand early and long term CT features following stent insertion. 3-Outline surveillance, including CT protocols and the roles of Duplex and angiography. 4-Review device related complications.

1. NELLIX device- composition, indications, contraindications 2. NELLIX deployment technique. 3. Short and long term post insertion device appearances. 4. CT surveillance protocol and the role of ancillary imaging modalities. 5. Potential complications and their remedies. 6. Unrecognised pitfalls and future challenges.
