Impact of Stent Graft Design on External Iliac Artery Limb Occlusion Rates After Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: Post-hoc Analysis of a Japanese Multicentre Database

It was hypothesised that a helical stent with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts could provide a preventive effect for external iliac artery (EIA) limb occlusion following endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). Therefore, a post-hoc analysis of a Japanese multicentre database was conducted to assess the impact of the stent graft design on EIA limb occlusion rates.
