Background: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is now the standard of care for elective infrarenal and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Difficult proximal necks often require adjuvant measures to seal type 1 endoleaks. We believed this was a predictor of increased 30-day morbidity and mortality and reduced long-term survival.

Methods: We reviewed outcomes for all patients entered into our database between 2003 and 2010 who had EVAR for elective or ruptured AAAs. Patient demographics and operative indications were recorded. Operative procedures, including adjuvant procedures, such as Palmaz XL stent deployment, were documented. All postoperative deaths and morbidity were recorded. Long-term survival was calculated using life table analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine significant predictors of early mortality.

Results: Between 2003 and 2010, 1470 ...
