Abstract
The management of endoleaks remains an inherent challenge to endovascular aneurysm
repair (EVAR), particularly as evolving techniques and devices have allowed treatment
of increasingly complex aneurysm anatomy. Endovascular techniques are the favored
modality for endoleak repair and include techniques to bridge the endoleak defector
and embolize the endoleak nidus and inflow/outflow vessels. Conversion to surgical
repair remains the definitive option in cases where less invasive methods have failed
or are precluded. In this article, the authors review evidence on the indications,
approach, and outcomes of current techniques for endoleak management.
