Figure 5 Suggested surveillance algorithm after TEVAR. *Endoleak types: type I, direct flow between endograft and aortic wall in the proximal (type Ia) or distal sealing zone (type Ib); type II, blood flow in the aneurysm sac, originating from side branches; type III, direct flow coming from overlapped segments or through a defect of the stent graft fabric; type IV, blood flow into the aneurysm sac because of the porosity of the graft fabric. ** Other complications should be managed accordingly.
