title: [Prospective preoperative morphometry of abdominal aortic aneurysms: selective patient management for endovascular surgery].
abstract: The objective of this prospective clinical investigation of 205 elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients over a 3-year period. 1993-1995, was both to evaluate the morphology and aortic dimensions of AAA as a management decision for patient selection for endovascular grafting and to correctly plan the custom-made TPEG size and shape prior to the procedure.
