BACKGROUND: Interventions for aortic @entity439 sac growth have been reported across multiple time points after @entity449 repair (EVAR). We report the long-term outcomes of @entity1 after EVAR monitored with duplex ultrasound (DUS) imaging with respect to the need for and type of intervention after 5  years. METHODS: We report a series of @entity1 who were monitored with DUS imaging for a minimum of 5  years after EVAR. DUS imaging was performed in an accredited noninvasive vascular laboratory, and computed tomography angiography was only performed for abnormal DUS findings. RESULTS: There were 156 @entity1 who underwent EVAR with follow-up >5  years (mean, 7.5  years; range, 5.1-14.5  years). Interventions for endoleak, graft limb @entity850 , or @entity715 were performed in 44 @entity1 (28%) at some time during follow-up. Of the 156 @entity1 , 34 (22%) underwent their first intervention during the first 5  years (25 endoleaks, 9 limb stenoses, or occlusions). Four @entity397 occurred, all in @entity1 with their first intervention before 5  years. The remaining 10 @entity1 (6%) underwent a first intervention >5  years after implantation: 3 for type I endoleak, 2 for @entity1070 with sac expansion, 2 for combined type I and II endoleaks 2 for @entity1070 , and 1 unknown type. CONCLUSIONS: Long-term follow-up of EVAR (mean, 7.5  years) revealed that approximately one in four @entity1 will require intervention at some point during follow-up. First-time interventions were necessary in 22% of all @entity1 in the first 5  years and in 6% of @entity1 after 5  years, highlighting the need for continued graft surveillance beyond 5  years. All @entity1 who had a first-time intervention after 5  years underwent an endoleak repair; none of these @entity1 had a thrombosed limb or a @entity397 as a result of the endoleak.

The fate of XXXX repair after 5  years monitored with duplex ultrasound imaging.
