Abstract
Endovascular repair of AAA has improved the perioperative morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing AAA repair compared to open surgical repair, although further long-term follow-up is required to determine the durability of these repairs. The advent of branched and fenestrated graft technology will likely expand endovascular stent grafts to all aortic segments. Long-term success is best achieved if the devices are used in properly selected patients and are constructed of durable materials that can withstand the physiological milieu into which they are placed. Careful patient selection and meticulous surveillance postoperatively are essential for long-term success. With future advances in endograft technology, expanding operator experience, and improved surveillance techniques, the current trend of expanding indications for EVAR procedures is likely to continue.
