Anatomical suitability of abdominal aortic aneurysms for endovascular repair

Abstract

The aortouni-iliac device has the widest applicability of the currently available endovascular systems but open repair remains the only option for a large proportion of patients.

The correlation of aortic neck length to early and late outcomes in endovascular aneurysm repair patients

“…The proportion of AAA patients found suitable for EVAR has increased significantly, from a reported 20% in the early stage to 45% to 80% more recently. [5][6][7][8] This present study analyzes the correlation of aortic neck length to early and late clinical outcomes.…”

Safety and effectiveness of the INCRAFT AAA Stent Graft for endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms

“…Especially calcified, tortuous, and narrowaccess vessels increase the risk for technical failures and need for secondary procedures. 8,9 Besides these, gender has also been shown to be a contributory risk factor for treating patients with challenging iliac vessels. 10 Therefore, an increasing number of low-profile devices have been introduced in clinical practice.…”

Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

“…The dominant limiting factor in patient selection is the stent-graft itself [29,30]. Each device has specific and relatively restrictive requirements with regard to the diameter, length, and angulation of the proximal and distal attachment sites and to the ability of the iliofemoral arteries to accommodate the stent-graft delivery systems.…”
