Overview of techniques and devices for endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
The endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is rapidly evolving. Since the onset of clinical investigations in 1990 there has been a rapid proliferation in the number of available devices, both surgeon-made and industry-made. This chapter reviews endovascular AAA repair with regard to available devices, patient selection for each device based on anatomic criteria, and techniques for graft deployment.
