title: Endovascular grafting for abdominal aortic aneurysms.
abstract: The feasibility of minimally invasive treatment of abdominal aortic and other arterial aneurysms by introduction under X-ray control of an endovascular graft via the femoral artery is proven. Until the safety and efficacy of these techniques is established, their introduction into clinical practice needs to be monitored. This paper reports recommendations agreed jointly by the Vascular Surgical Society of Great Britain and Ireland and the British Society of Interventional Radiologists for assessment of endovascular grafting techniques.
