ABSTRACT
Thirty two patients with Stanford B thoracic aortic dissections accepted endovascular graft exclusions. Four endoleaks occurred after the stent grafts were deployed. Three were cured with additional endovascular stent graft placement, while one sealed spontaneously. It is concluded that many factors are related to the occurrence of endoleaks. The detecting methods of intraoperative DSA and postoperative spiral CT of the thoracic aorta are effective on revealing endoleaks. It is advocated that additional endovascular procedures should be done immediately after the endoleaks are detected. Low volume of the leakage may seal spontaneously. But the topic of the mamagement and prognosis of delayed endoleaks is to be studied.
