Late‐onset type I endoleak characterized by contrast enhanced ultrasound after endovascular repair of aortic aneurysm

We report in the case of a patient with an intra-abdominal aortic aneurysm treated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) who developed renal impairment during the period of follow up. The repair was complicated with an early-onset type II endoleak which later evolved into a late-onset type I endoleak. It was treated with proximal extension of stent graft, with treatment success and follow-up documented on contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). This case illustrates the usefulness of CEUS in post-EVAR surveillance and emphasizes the need for life-long monitoring as late-onset complications are not uncommon.
