Table 1 Classification for endoleaks and endotension[4]
Endoleak (type)Source of perigraft flow
I Attachment site
A Proximal end of the stentgraft
B Distal end of the stentgraft
C Iliac occluder
II Branch leaks without attachment site leaks
A Simple: One patent branch
B Complex: Two or more patent branches
III Stentgraft defect
A Junctional leak or modular disconnect
B Fabric holes
IV Stentgraft fabric porosity < 30 d after placement
Endoleak (time of detection)Primary, present from time of EVAR Secondary, appearing after prior negative CTA
Endotension AAA enlargement with increased intrasac pressure after EVAR without visualised endoleak on delayed contrast CTA
