Abstract
Type I endoleaks continue to appear over time, and 56% occurred at 5 years or later after EVAR. All were associated with dilation at the attachment site, and all type Ia endoleaks had migration. As type Ia endoleaks may not always be amenable to endovascular repair, EVAR should be considered a less attractive option for some patients whose life expectancy is predicted to exceed 10 years.
