Endovascular repair of inflammatory aortic aneurysms: long-term results

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2006 Apr;186(4):1144-7. doi: 10.2214/AJR.04.1881.

Abstract

Objective: Our objective was to report the long-term follow-up results of endovascular aneurysm repair of inflammatory aortic aneurysms.

Conclusion: Endovascular aneurysm repair of inflammatory aortic aneurysms excludes the aneurysm and seems to reduce the size of the aneurysmal sac and the extent of periaortic fibrosis with acceptable periinterventional and long-term morbidity.
