PURPOSE: To determine the spectrum and frequency of specific computed tomographic (CT) findings in the acute period after endovascular repair of @entity1028 ( @entity1028 ). MATERIALS AND METHODS: CT images obtained 1--3 days after endograft placement were evaluated in 88 @entity1 . The images were analyzed for stent position, appearance of endograft components, perigraft leak, and postoperative findings including air and acute @entity715 within the @entity439 and air surrounding the femoral-femoral bypass graft. Findings that could be misinterpreted as perigraft leak were evaluated. RESULTS: Fifteen (17%) of 88 @entity1 had perigraft leak in the acute postoperative period. The bare segment of the proximal self-expanding stent covered one or both renal arteries in 54 (61%) @entity1 . One @entity1 had CT evidence of renovascular compromise. Postoperative air was within the aneurysmal sac in 51 (58%) @entity1 and surrounded the femoral-femoral bypass graft in 67 (94%) of 71 @entity1 in whom the grafts were evaluated with CT. Mottled attenuation within the aneurysmal sac was seen in 50 (57%) @entity1 . Forty-six (52%) @entity1 had @entity730 within longstanding @entity715 . In 31 (35%) @entity1 , findings that could have been misinterpreted as perigraft leak were identified. CONCLUSION: Accurate analysis of CT findings after endovascular @entity1028 repair requires careful review of all available CT images (preprocedural and pre- and postcontrast) and clear understanding of specific stent-graft components and placement.
