Endotension Following Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: Retrospective Review of Treatment and Clinical Outcome.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

: Endotension is a rare late complication characterized by an increase in sac size without any type of endoleak following endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). Due to its rarity, few studies have demonstrated the mechanism behind and the management of endotension.
