Anatomic eligibility for endovascular aneurysm repair preserved over 2 years of surveillance.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a widely used option for patients with suitable vascular anatomy who have a large infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Patients with small AAAs are managed with careful surveillance and it is a common concern that their anatomy may change with AAA growth, and their option for EVAR may become limited. Device innovation has resulted in expanded ranges of anatomy that may be eligible for EVAR. This study sought to identify changes in anatomic eligibility for repair with contemporary endovascular devices in AAA patients, monitored by computed tomography scan over the course of 2 years.

Methods

Patients from the Non-Invasive Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Clinical Trial (N-TA³CT, NCT01756833) were included
