Abstract
Complications after placement of aortic stent grafts may occur including le aks, stent migration, and thrombi. The mechanism of the development of thes e complications and the possible radiologic interventional treatment must b e known to achieve an acceptable success rate of stent-graft placement. Thi s article discusses potential complications and their radiological treatmen t such as secondary stenting or embolization of branching vessels.
