The initial success and widespread adoption of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms have been tempered by numerous reports of secondary interventions and increased long-term mortality compared with open repair. Over the past decade, several studies on postoperative sac dynamics after EVAR have suggested that the presence of sac regression is a benign feature with a favorable prognosis. Conversely, increasing sacs and even stable sacs can be indicators of more unstable sac behavior with worse outcomes in the long-term. Endoleaks were initially perceived as the main drivers of sac behavior. However, the observation that sac regression can occur in the presence of endoleaks, and vice versa - increasing sacs without evidence of endoleak - on imaging studies, suggests the involvement of other contributing factors. These factors can be divided into anatomical factors, patient characteristics, sac thrombus composition, and device-related factors. The shift of interest away from especially type 2 endoleaks is further supported by promising results with the use of EndoAnchors regarding postoperative sac behavior. This review provides an overview of the existing literature on the implications and known risk factors of post-EVAR sac behavior, describes the accurate measurement of sac behavior, and discusses the use of EndoAnchors to promote sac regression.
