Prospective, Randomised Two Centre Study of Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm With or Without Sac Embolisation.

CONCLUSION: For selected patients at risk of EL, ASCE seems effective in preventing EL at one, six, and at 12 months. However, the difference was not statistically significant at 24 months. ASCE decreases the re-intervention rate two years after EVAR. A significantly faster aneurysm volume shrinkage was observed at one and two years following surgery. (SCOPE 1 trial: NCT01878240).
