KEY FACTS

  • Terminology

    • Imaging

      TERMINOLOGY

      • Definitions

        • Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA): Localized widening of aorta
        • Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR): Type of endovascular surgery used to treat aortic aneurysm of aorta, involving percutaneous placement of expandable stent graft within vessel
          • Goal of treatment to provide conduit for blood to bypass aneurysm sac
        • Endoleak: Persistent blood flow outside lumen of endovascular graft but within aneurysm sac
