<b>How Many Patients With Infrarenal Aneurysms Are Candidates for Endovascular Repair?</b>The Northern California Experience

Abstract

Fifty-five percent of patients considered for endovascular AAA repair in community hospitals in Northern California met the anatomical selection criteria for the AneuRx stent-graft. Men appeared to be twice as likely to meet the eligibility requirements as women. Unfavorable infrarenal neck anatomy was the primary exclusion criterion for endovascular repair in this community setting.
