Implication

High complication rates warrant caution in complex AAA repair; leaves open durability and selection criteria for prospective study.

Structured PICO

Population

81 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs)

Intervention

Endovascular stent grafts (aorto-aortic in 2, bifurcated in 21, and aorto-monoiliac in 57 patients)

Outcome

Technical success, complications, reinterventions, and mortalitysafety

Endoluminal repair of complex AAAs is technically feasible but associated with a high complication rate (77%), raising concerns about long-term durability.
