TEACHING POINTS

- Recognize the importance of ultrasound as a diagnostic method in the evaluation of complications after endovascular aneurysm repair, particularly endoleak - Key findings in ultrasound / Doppler examination of stents/grafts in peripheral arteries - Discuss ways to improve Doppler ultrasound technique for better results in these patients - Main advantages of ultrasound in the initial follow-up after aneurysm surgery over other imaging methods

TABLE OF CONTENTS/OUTLINE

- Sample of cases evaluated and monitored with Doppler ultrasound - Special aspects of different arteries examination, such as the carotid and popliteal arteries - Security and applicability of ultrasound following endovascular correction of aneurysms - Correlation of sonographic findings and CT angiography (CTA) - Literature review on use of ultrasound and CT scan for follow-up after endovascular aneurysm repair
