Risk factors associated with late aneurysmal sac expansion after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair

Abstract

Our results suggest that patients with small abdominal aortic aneurysms (<60 mm) and infrarenal neck angulation ≤60° are more favorable candidates for EVAR. Intraprocedural treatments, such as prophylactic embolization of aortic branches or intrasac embolization, may reduce the risk of sac expansion in patients with larger abdominal aortic aneurysms or greater infrarenal neck angulation.
