ALVAYAY Q, Pablo et al. A Pictorial review of endoleaks. Rev. chil. radiol. [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.2, pp.66-69. ISSN 0717-9308.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-93082015000200006.

The current treatment for aortic aneurysms is to install an endovascular stent in the aortic lumen. The most common complication of stents is endoleaks. Those defined as a peri-prosthetic vascular leak, in the aneurysm sac, are usually asymptomatic. If not detected early, they can progress with the growth and rupture of the aneurysm. The method of choice for evaluation is angiography by computed tomography (CT). The aim of this pictorial review is to describe and illustrate the imaging findings of the different types of endoleaks in computed tomography angiograms (5 types).
