Long-term Clinical Outcomes and Predictors of Type-III Endoleak in a Large Cohort of Patients Treated With Anatomically Fixed Stent Grafts Over 20 Years
The old-generation of unibody endograft AFXs was associated with an increase in TIIIEL risk by 3.1 times. Angulated and calcified neck, large aneurysms and the use of nonproprietary graft extension were found as independent risk factors for TIIIEL. Patients implanted with these devices and with these anatomical features should be intensively monitored during follow-up.
