Background Conventional management of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is by open
repair and is associated with a mortality rate of 2–6 per cent. Endovascular aneurysm repair …

BACKGROUND: Endovascular repair (ER) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a new
technique, and reported rates of endoleak, conversion to open repair, rupture and mortality …

Background: Positional stability of the endograft is essential for long-term durability after
endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EAR). However, the cumulative risk of …

Purpose: Endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair is reported to result in less
initial patient morbidity and a shorter hospital length of stay (LOS) when compared with …

The substantially high morbidity and mortality rates for graft replacement of aortic
aneurysms, particularly in high-risk patients, have encouraged the development of an …

Success after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) is dependent on
device positional stability. The quest for such stability has motivated different endograft …

Purpose: To investigate the effect on intrasac pressure of stent-graft deployment within a life-
size silicone rubber model of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) maintained under …

Vascular structures Page 200 CHAPTER 6 OBJECTIVES Identify the role of diagnostic
medical sonography in the assessment of abdominal vascular structures. Vascular …

Although aortic stent graft treatment of aortic aneurysm (AAA) continues to dominate the
vascular surgical literature, initial enthusiasm for this technique is now being moderated with …

Background: Colour Doppler ultrasound of endoluminal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is
becoming an established imaging technique in identifying endoleak. Management and …
