AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2007 May;188(5):1273-7. doi: 10.2214/AJR.05.1654.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to document the spectrum of CT findings and the clinical outcome of thoracic aortic graft complications.

Conclusion: Aortic graft complications detected with CT may or may not be clinically apparent and/or relevant. CT characterization in combination with clinical findings helps to determine patient treatment.
