This study aimed to investigate the relationship between maximum transverse diameter (MTD) and volume measurements in patients who underwent reoperations after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), and their association with the occurrence of endoleaks. The study included 51 patients who underwent EVAR and subsequent re-operations caused by endoleaks type I–III. In some number of events, multiple re-operations were needed. MTD was measured using the Horos software, and segmentations of the AAA were performed using 3D Slicer. This study first evaluated post-operative computed tomography angiography (CTA) to measure MTD and volume. Then, similar measurements were made in the control scan for re-operation qualification. Negative remodeling (increase in MTD and/or volume) was observed in 40 cases using MTD, and 48 cases using volume measurements. The volume measurement showed lower missed negatives than MTD, indicating its effectiveness in screening for negative remodeling (p < 0.001). Combining both methods identified 51 negative remodeling cases and 8 positive changes, with a higher sensitivity compared to MTD alone. The volume of the sac did not predict specific endoleak types. Decreases in MTD were observed in smaller sacs, with smaller volume changes. Volume measurement is a valuable screening tool, and combining MTD and volume enhances sensitivity. However, sac volume does not predict endoleak type. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
