Planning and Endograft Related Variables Predisposing to Late Distal Type I Endoleaks.

CONCLUSION: The present data underline that ELIB is a non-negligible occurrence during long term EVAR follow up and requires further interventions, most often by endovascular solutions. According to the ELIB risk factors identified in this study, an iliac leg diameter oversize >10% and extensive common iliac artery coverage (<1 cm above the hypogastric origin) would be suggested to prevent this complication.
