Endovascular treatment of the thoracic aorta has developed as an efficacious alternative to open surgical repair. However, despite the high primary success rate, perigraft leakage constitutes the major concern in long-term follow-up. Endoleaks are widely reported both in abdominal and thoracic endovascular series and are usually identified by intraoperative angiography. Transesophageal echocardiography is a sensitive imaging technique in the evaluation of aortic diseases, widely used to monitor cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of transesophageal echocardiography in leakage detection during endovascular stent procedures of the thoracic aorta.
