Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) affect 5% of the population in developed countries and
are characterized by progressive aortic dilatation with an unpredictable time course. This …

Background The early survival advantage of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR)
compared with open repair reverses over time, possibly because of higher rates of …

Objective The objective of this study was to examine whether prophylactic use of
EndoAnchors (Medtronic, Santa Rosa, Calif) contributes to improved outcomes after …

OBJECTIVES: The principal aim of this study was to demonstrate that significant sac
retraction (SSR) was a predictive marker of durable success after endovascular aortic repair …

The isolation of the aneurysm sac from systemic pressure and its consequent shrinkage are
considered criteria of success after endovascular repair (EVAR). However, the process of …

Objective The pre-treatment presence of at least six efferent patent vessels (EPV) from the
AAA sac and/or AAA thrombus volume ratio (VR%)< 40% are considered to be positive …

Background Regression of the aneurysmal sac after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) is an accepted indicator of aneurysm exclusion. This study evaluated the …

Objective The aim of the present study was to compare the long-term survival of patients with
a stable aneurysm sac vs those with aneurysm sac regression after endovascular aneurysm …

Recent studies demonstrate that patients with a shrinking abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA),
one-year after endovascular repair (EVAR), have better long-term outcomes than patients …

Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the remodeling of abdominal aortic
aneurysms after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) with the Zenith (Cook Medical …
