Fig. 1 A, Surface ultrasound image of endoluminal graft at 3 months demonstrates an endoleak from distal end of device connecting to lower portion of aneurysm. Aneurysm dimensions at time of exam had decreased from 5.2 cm before treatment to 4.6 cm. Single arrow, distal stent; double arrows, aneurysm wall. B, Axial CT images acquired at 6 months demonstrate persistence of endoleak, with the superior mesenteric artery (arrow on top image) communicating via a channel (arrow on lower image) in the aneurysm to a leak around the distal stent.

Fig. 2 Composite photograph of predeployment and postdeployment images from patient who had contained perforations of aorta. The preintervention images demonstrate preintervention angiogram (left), axial CT scans from levels represented demonstrating chronic perforation indicated by arrows (center), and IVUS images from positions shown (right). The postdeployment images demonstrate contrast cinefluoroscopy (left), and longitudinal gray-scale reconstruction (right) of axial IVUS images along the lesion depicts isolation of the aneurysm by the endograft.

Fig. 3 Composite photograph of predeployment and postdeployment images from abdominal aortic aneurysm that appeared to have an ideal neck for interposition aortoaortic endograft placement on preintervention angiogram and CT scan (left and middle images on preintervention panel). Axial IVUS images of same levels shown on CTs are displayed. IVUS evaluation demonstrated that length of neck was 1.4 cm, rather than 3.0 or 2.2 cm as measured on angiogram and CT, respectively. Postdeployment panels show contrast cinefluoroscopy that suggests complete sealing of aneurysm from the endograft lumen, but IVUS demonstrated persistent endoleak (arrow) that was not able to be closed by further interventions.

Fig. 4 Composite photograph of spiral CT before intervention (left), with corresponding longitudinal 2-D reconstruction (center), and 3-D spiral CT reconstruction of aortoiliac exclusion of aneurysm after procedure (right). Longitudinal 2-D image demonstrated exclusion of aneurysm (single arrow) by endoluminal graft. 3-D reconstruction after procedure demonstrates no flow in aneurysm sac with occlusion of contralateral iliac artery by endoluminal occluder (double arrows). Femorofemoral reconstruction is not demonstrated on this photograph.

Fig. 5 Composite photograph of pretreatment and posttreatment images acquired during IVUS-guided deployment of endoluminal graft to treat arteriovenous fistula of right axillary artery after gunshot injury. IVUS images acquired at beginning of procedure revealed dimensions of proximal and distal artery and length of injury to vessel. Corresponding duplex surface gray-scale surface ultrasound image of lesion before beginning intervention demonstrates arteriovenous connection. Postdeployment angiogram demonstrates complete isolation and exclusion of arteriovenous fistula, which is confirmed by IVUS inspection and postprocedure gray-scale surface duplex imaging of device.
