Stent Grafting of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: Pre-and Postoperative Evaluation with Multislice Helical CT

Abstract

Endovascular stent grafting of abdominal aortic aneurysms is a new technique that may replace open surgery in selected cases. Pre-and postoperative angiography can be replaced by helical CT. This pictorial essay describes and illustrates the use of multislice helical CT where maximum intensity projection and multiplanar reformats play a central role in the evaluation.
