Key result
Aortic distensibility measurement using CT in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm demonstrated high intraobserver (ICC 0.92) and interobserver (ICC 0.89) agreement.
Observational (n=54)
CT-based aortic distensibility measurement in AAA patients is highly reproducible and correlates with clinical parameters, which may help optimize graft selection for endovascular aneurysm repair.

Supports CT aortic distensibility assessment in AAA research; leaves open its clinical role in EVAR planning.
Zha et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (n=54). Aortic distensibility measurement using CT was evaluated on Reproducibility of aortic distensibility measurement. Aortic distensibility measurement using CT in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm demonstrated high intraobserver (ICC 0.92) and interobserver (ICC 0.89) agreement.
