Aneurysm Repair

A stent graft for abdominal aortic aneurysm repair was associated with durable performance and low rates of aneurysm-related mortality at 10 years, researchers reported at the Charing Cross Symposium.

The FDA issued a safety communication to remind patients and health care providers of the importance of at least yearly, lifelong follow-up for patients with Endologix AFX endovascular grafts, to monitor for type III endoleaks.

Among patients who had endovascular aneurysm repair, sac regression at 1 year was associated with lower risk for all-cause mortality at 5 years, according to new data from the ENGAGE registry.
