Purpose: To evaluate the utility of time-resolved MR angiography (TR-MRA), compared with digital subtraction angiography (DSA), in the classification of endoleaks in patients who have undergone endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Materials and Methods: Thirty-one patients who had undergone EVAR to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm were evaluated with both TR-MRA and DSA to determine endoleak etiology. The patient population consisted of 26 men and 5 women with a mean age of 78.5 years (range, 55-93 years). The mean time interval between TR-MRA and DSA was 1.5 weeks (range, 1-8 weeks). Endoleaks were classified as type 11 when enhancement of the external iliac vessels was observed before the appearance of the endoleak; otherwise the endoleak was classified as type I or III. The results of TR-MRA classification were compared with the reference gold, standard, DSA. Results: Agreement between TR-MRA and DSA regarding endoleak classification occurred in 30 of 31 cases (97%). Discordant classification occurred in a case in which a Type II endoleak was misclassified as a Type III due to failure to visualize a lumbar vessel. Conclusion: TR-MRA is highly effective in classifying endoleaks following EVAR when compared with DSA.
