Endovascular treatment of extensive AIOD can be performed successfully by experienced interventionists in selected patients. Although primary patency rates are lower than those reported for surgical revascularization, reinterventions can often be performed percutaneously, with secondary patency comparable to surgical repair.

Open repair of non-ruptured JAA using suprarenal cross-clamping can be performed with acceptable perioperative mortality; however, postoperative deterioration of renal function is a common complication. Preservation of renal function after JAA repair requires further investigation.

During 12 years of follow-up, there was no survival difference between patients who underwent open or endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, despite a continuously increasing number of reinterventions in the endovascular repair group. Endograft durability and the need for continued endograft surveillance remain key issues.

The results suggest a relation between the deposition of PVAT and AAA pathophysiology. Further research should explore the exact underlying processes.

In this in vitro study, the CG configurations with BE stent-grafts show larger gutters than configurations with SE stent-grafts in small main grafts. Main graft compression is increased using wider CG stent-grafts.
