Biomed Eng Comput Biol. 2013 Apr 10:5:25-32. doi: 10.4137/BECB.S10970. eCollection 2013.

Abstract

The introduction of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair has revolutionized the therapeutic approach to patients with AAA. Due to an on-going and prolific collaboration between vascular interventionalists and biomedical engineers, the devices used to perform endovascular AAA repair have also changed dramatically. The purpose of this publication is to provide an overview of the currently available and upcoming options for endovascular AAA repair.

Keywords: AAA; EVAR; aneurysm; aortic stent; endograft; endovascular; future technology.
