Abstract
Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm is becoming a valuable alternative to open surgery in selected patients. With the recognition of this new treatment, however, many complications, some of them life-threatening, are reported. Imaging plays a major role in the detection of these complications. This article reviews the role of imaging techniques in the detection of these complications.
