Below is a brief summary about the dissertation:
This thesis aims to increase our understanding on risk factors that affect the durability of EVAR. In particular, how several different baseline morphological characteristics of the aorta and iliac arteries influence EVAR-related complications are investigated. Additionally, the interaction between the implanted endograft and the recipient patients’ vessels, particularly at the seal zones – areas of intimate apposition between the implanted endograft with the proximal neck and iliac arteries - are assessed. Importantly, how the implanted endograft remains positioned and apposed to the vessel wall is determinant for successful and durable AAA exclusion from the pressurized arterial blood and the patient protected from the risk of AAA rupture.
