The bovine pericardium mesh reinforcement of fascia closure in patients undergoing open AAA repair showed effectiveness and low complication rate in prophylaxis from incisional herniation. It should be considered as an alternative mesh material in selected patients.

Endovascular treatment of IAAAD appears to be a feasible and efficient therapeutic approach and might be considered as the first-line treatment in all patients with suitable anatomy.

The Endurant stent graft system applied off-label in patients with very short aneurysm necks (<10 mm) with mild angulation showed acceptable treatment results. These midterm results might suggest its use in carefully selected patients with very short neck anatomy. Long-term data are needed to verify the observed durability of the Endurant stent graft.

SN injury was equally observed after downwards or upwards total stripping of the GSV, as confirmed by ENG and clinical evaluation, with no differences in injury type. SN injury tends to be relieved through time in most patients.
