Correlation Between Calcium Scoring and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Endovascular Repair Outcomes

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), though minimally invasive, is associated with many reinterventions and complications. Several variables have been studied to predict the outcomes of EVAR, one of which is the calcium burden of the vasculature. This prompted us to explore the correlation between the calcium burden of different aortic segments measured by the standardized Agatston scoring system, and the outcomes of EVAR.
