Diagnostic Value of Color Duplex Ultrasonography in the Follow-up of Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysma

Color duplex US is not as accurate as CT angiography and cannot replace CT angiography in the follow-up of endovascular aortic repair of AAAs. However, the use of contrast material-enhanced color duplex US resulted in improvement of diagnostic accuracy in the detection of endoleak and warrants further study.
