Authors' objectives:
The goals of endovascular repair (EVR) of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), a minimally invasive procedure used instead of open abdominal surgery, are to prevent aneurysm enlargement and rupture or to repair a ruptured aneurysm by excluding the AAA from the arterial circulation. During EVR, a prosthetic endograft is passed through the femoral artery to the aneurysm sac where it is deployed and attached to the normal aorta with an expandable stent system.
