OLIVEIRA, Nelson F. G. et al. Endovascular aneurysm repair in wide infrarenal necks: increased risk of complications?. Angiol Cir Vasc [online]. 2017, vol.13, n.2, pp.58-61. ISSN 1646-706X.

EVAR has become the predominant repair technique for abdominal aortic aneurysm. Long-term clinical success relies greatly upon a long-lasting proximal seal. EVAR has achieved good outcomes on the short-term in patients with hostile neck features such as large proximal necks. However, the long-term outcomes in these patients is greatly unknown. In this article, the authors perform a literature review in order to assess the clinical impact of wide proximal neck on mid to long-term outcomes following EVAR.

Palabras clave : Aortic aneurysm; Abdominal (MeSH); Blood vessel prosthesis implantation (MeSH); wide aortic neck diameter.
