1 Primary endoleakage in endovascular treatment of the thoracic aorta: Importance of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography  Rossella Fattori, MDa, Ilaria Caldarera, MD, PhDb, Claudio Rapezzi, MDc, Guido Rocchi, MDc, Gabriella Napoli, MDa, Mario Parlapiano, MDb, Marco Favali, MDa, Angelo Pierangeli, MDb, Giampaolo Gavelli, MDa  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 120, Issue 3, Pages (September 2000) DOI: /mtc Copyright © 2000 American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 A, Perigraft leak detected by TEE color Doppler sonography (arrow). B, After balloon inflation, no flow is visible in the perigraft space. The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /mtc ) Copyright © 2000 American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 A, and B, Spiral CT scans revealing an endoleak in a large fusiform post-traumatic aneurysm after stent treatment. C and D, Three-month follow-up scans showed a spontaneous thrombosis.

4 Fig. 3 A, TEE color Doppler sonogram showing a perigraft leak immediately after stent deployment, with a high flow velocity. B, After successive balloon inflations, a slow flow velocity remains in the aneurysmal sac, indicative of minimal graft porosity.
