Objective: The aim of the study was evaluating the diagnostic value of plasma matrix metalloproteinase-(MMP)-2 and -9 and tissue inhibitor of MMP-1 (TIMP-1) for endoleak detection after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).Report: Consecutive EVAR patients (n = 17) with endoleak and matched controls without endoleak (n = 20) were prospectively enrolled. Increased levels of MMP-9 were observed in patients with endoleak (P < 0.001). Regression analysis showed no significant influence of age, sex or abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) size. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of plasma MMP-9 levels showed that a cutoff value of 55.18 ng ml(-1) resulted in 100% sensitivity and 96% specificity with an AUC value of 0.988 (P < 0.001) to detect endoleak.Conclusions: Plasma MMP-9 levels appear to discriminate between patients with and without an endoleak with high sensitivity and specificity.
