Intraoperative contrast enhanced ultrasound adds some important details to the endovascular aortic aneurysm repair completion control

Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has been widely accepted as an effective and reproducible diagnostic tool in the follow-up after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) for a long time. It is particularly useful in the detection of endoleaks (EL) since is a real-time non-ionizing radiation examination, with no nephrotoxic effect with comparable or even superior diagnostic performance compared with standard angiography (1,2).
