Influence of Infrarenal Neck Length on Outcome of Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Abstract

Our study indicates that endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms with infrarenal neck length <15 mm is associated with significantly increased risk of short- and midterm proximal endoleaks after EVAR. The greater risk of proximal endoleaks should be weighed against the risks of alternative treatment modalities.
