Routine Use of Indwelling Urinary Catheters During Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair is Not Necessary

Patients who develop post EVAR urinary retention experience a significantly increased rate of UTI. Selective urinary catheter placement should be used to help reduce urinary-related complications following elective EVAR.
