摘要

Objectives Postoperative complications associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) mandate the need for lifelong surveillance. The aim of this audit was to compare the detection rates of endoleaks during the first 10 months of a combined sonographer-led colour Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) and radiologist-led contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), postoperative EVAR surveillance programme, within a single National Health Service Hospital. nnMethods A prospective audit was carried out of all patients with EVAR, who had same-day CECT and CDUS surveillance examinations between March 2010 and January 2011. CECT examinations were reported by three consultant vascular radiologists. Of 66 CDUS examinations, 64 (97%) were performed and reported by four certified vascular sonographers. The reports of dual-modality, same-day scans were compared, to establish agreement on the presence and classification of the type, or absence of endoleaks. CECT was used as the gold standard, against which the sensitivity and specificity of CDUS in endoleak detection was determined. nnResults Sixty-six paired same-day CECT and CDUS reports were compared. Ten endoleaks were identified by CECT (15% incidence) and eight (80%) of 10 were type II. The number of observed agreements was 58 (88%) of 66; CDUS missed six endoleaks (five type II) and suggested two false-positives. CDUS had a sensitivity of 40% and a specificity of 96%. nnConclusions In our study, CDUS demonstrated an excellent specificity but had a low sensitivity for endoleak detection. We agree CDUS cannot effectively replace CECT as the sole imaging modality. Research to determine an international consensus for an effective and efficient postoperative EVAR surveillance patient pathway is required.
