03:00 Abstract No. 13 Dose reduction using digital fluoroscopy versus digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR): single-center prospective randomized comparison

EVAR can result in high radiation dose to patients and operators. Optimal imaging is required for safe stent graft deployment. While DSA provides high quality images, radiation dose rate is increased compared to digital fluoroscopy (DF). The aim of this prospective randomized study was to assess if radiation dose in EVAR could be reduced by predominantly utilizing DF for implantation compared to the standard DSA-utilized technique.
