Fig. 1A. 66-year-old man with aortomonoiliac stent-graft. Perigraft
leak was visible on CT but was missed on color Doppler sonography (not shown).
Helical CT scan shows small perigraft leak (white arrow) and
curvilinear opacity (black arrow).

Fig. 1B. 66-year-old man with aortomonoiliac stent-graft. Perigraft
leak was visible on CT but was missed on color Doppler sonography (not shown).
Helical CT scan shows connection of leak with inferior mesenteric artery
(curved arrow). Curvilinear opacity (straight arrows)
corresponds to distal part of aortic segment of endoluminal device (Corvita
Europe, Brussels, Belgium) that is composed of main aortic segment and one or
two iliac limbs.
