• Aortic graft complications greatly influence long-term morbidity and mortality rates of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. • Increased detection of graft-related complications are achieved with a better understanding of imaging characteristics • The aim of this exhibit is to describe aortic graft complications and illustrate key imaging findings  

• Background/Literature review o Types of stent grafts  Vanguard  Endologix  Zenith o Imaging techniques for graft surveillance:  Plain radiograph  CT  MRI  Digital subtraction angiography  Ultrasound  Nuclear medicine studies o Protocol in Post–Endovascular Aneurysm Repair Surveillance • Radiographic features of complications: o Endoleaks o Para-anastomotic aneurysm  True  False o Graft-enteric erosion/fistula o Graft Infection o Colon Ischemia o Graft Thrombosis o Device migration • Alternative to imaging for post-EVAR surveillance o Pressure monitoring sensors
