Purpose: To determine whether changes in aneurysm morphology after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair differ according to the type of endograft (self-expanding versus balloon-expandable). Methods: Among 88 patients with AAA treated with either homemade polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) aortomonoiliac endografts or Talent stent-grafts, 30 patients (24 males; mean age 73 years, range 55–93) were selected for this study based on a >2-year follow-up and freedom from endoleak or conversion. Of these, 12 had PTFE endografts and 18 Talent devices. All patients had spiral computed tomographic angiography with 3-dimensional reconstruction at 5 days post-treatment and 6-month intervals thereafter. Neck dimensions (length and diameters at 3 levels) were measured, along with volumes and maximal diameters of the sac and lengths of the aneurysm and endograft. Intra- and interobserver errors were |
