Abstract

The diagnosis of early and late postoperative complication after abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery has a bearing on treatment results. Ultrasound duplex scanning must have been effective and accessible for postoperative monitoring, but such studies are inconsiderable in number. The aim is a definition of distinctive ultrasound criteria of postoperative complication and development of monitoring survey protocol. In this study authors analyzed results of assessment in 273 patients after open or endovascular repair in duration up to 102 months. All of the patients were underwent ultrasound duplex scanning including contrast-enhanced studies. All of specific revealed in 27,1% cases complications were divided to early and rate. The postoperative hemorrhage was most frequent (6,2%) among the others such as anastomotic thrombosis and graft infection. Stenotic lesions (8,1%), true and false anastomotic aneurysms (7,7%) were as late complications. The proposed protocol of diagnosis and monitoring conduced a timely detection of complications. In authors’ opinion, ultrasound duplex scanning is noninvasive, cost-effective and valid for postoperative monitoring survey.
