title: Overview of techniques and devices for endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
abstract: 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.
