Endoleak risk seems not to be increased by an emergency setting. However, the relatively high rate of late endoleak observed after emergent TAA repair advocates for close follow-up, contrary to traumatic aortic rupture. Furthermore, regardless of the pathologic process, a longer proximal landing zone is likely to guarantee early and late success.

TI calculation can be useful to anticipate difficulties during stent graft deployment and to reduce mal-positioning.

Combining subintimal angioplasty with a stent graft in femoro-popliteal lesions does not improve patency. The limb salvage rate remains high after addition of a stent graft. Rigorous monitoring is recommended to diagnose and treat restenosis early in order to improve patency.

Assessment of proximal landing zone morphology to avoid deployment zones generating an aortic angle of over 50° can be recommended to improve aortic curvature apposition with the current available devices.
