Validation of Central Pressure Estimation in Patients with an Aortic Aneurysm Before and After Endovascular Repair

ConclusionIn untreated AAA ’s the accuracy of non-invasive central pressure estimation was acceptable (mean difference between 5 and 10 mmHg) when compared to invasive pressures, but dependent of AAA characteristics. After EVAR the accuracy of central pressure estimation improved (reduction of 75% of the mean difference bet ween pre and post measurements)Trial Registration NumberNCT03469388; 3-5-2018.
