title: Essentials of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair imaging: preprocedural assessment.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To understand the abdominal aortic aneurysm imaging characteristics that must be accurately described for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair treatment planning, including evaluation of the landing zones, aneurysm morphology, and vascular access..
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A comprehensive understanding of preprocedural imaging is necessary to produce detailed and clinically useful imaging reports and assist the interventionalist in planning endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
