Abstract:Most Seal stent grafts were implanted successfully (even in cases with a physical status of grade IV or higher or a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm), had an appropriate reintervention rate, and were stable during the midterm follow-up. However, there was a high rate of type I endoleak, which may be related to the early device model that we used. Therefore, long-term radiologic follow-up is recommended for the early detection of stent graft migration or endoleaks.
Kilt-based EVAR with Seal stent-grafts for AAAs with a severely angulated neck (angle > 60°) provided high technical success, low mortality, and low complication rates during short-term follow-up.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
