Carbon Dioxide Angiography in Endovascular Aneurysm Repair May Overestimate the Presence of Type II Endoleak

Key Points

• Type II endoleak presence appears overestimated with carbon dioxide angiography, raising concerns about accuracy.
• Findings suggest nearly 30% of evaluations could incorrectly indicate a type II endoleak due to imaging effects.
• Assessment of radiographic evaluations demonstrates significant discrepancies that need further validation.
• Results highlight the need for careful interpretation of images, as reliance on carbon dioxide could lead to misdiagnosis.
