Background: Reports of secondary modifications into aortouniiliac configuration to salvage-failed endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) are limited. We evaluated long-term results after these procedures and compared them with those after primary aortouniiliac endografting (AUE).
Methods: A retrospective review of all EVAR performed from March 1995 until July 2011 was conducted. Patients were included when primary AUE (group I) or modification into aortouniiliac configuration (group II) was done.
Results: Data analysis obtained 27 group I and 23 group II patients. Salvage of failed EVAR could be achieved in 96% of group II patients, and mortality was zero. Frequency of adverse events and amount of interventions to maintain aneurysm exclusion were not increased after secondary AUE. Kaplan-Meier estimates for long-term survival between groups were comparable (P = .36).
Conclusions: Secondary AUE allows correction of graft-related endoleaks potentially leading to late aneurysm rupture. Complications and adverse events throughout long-term follow-up were not necessarily increased when compared with primary AUE.

Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, NYU Langone Health, New York, NY. Electronic address:
Introduction: Endovascular aneurysm repair has improved outcomes for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA) compared with open repair. We examined the impact of aorto-uni-iliac (AUI) vs standard bifurcated endograft configuration on outcomes in rAAA.
Methods: Patients 18 years or older in the Vascular Quality Initiative database who underwent endovascular aneurysm repair for rAAA from January 2011 to April 2020 were included.

Background: To compare short-term outcomes of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) with aorto-uni-iliac (AUI) versus bifurcated (BIFUR) endografts in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA).
Methods: A total of 26 rAAA patients receiving EVAR with AUI device (14 patients) or the BIFUR graft (12 patients) between January 2016 and December 2020 were enrolled and reviewed. All EVARs for rAAA were performed in an emergency basis.

Vascular Surgery, Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma, Parma, Italy.
Background: The detection of intraprosthetic thrombus (IPT) deposits is a common finding during follow-up for endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair (EVAR); however, its clinical significance is still debated. The aim of this study was to determine if IPT represents a risk factor for thromboembolic events (TEs; endograft or limb thrombosis, or distal embolization) after EVAR.
Methods: A systematic review of English literature was undertaken until November 2017.

Introduction: Late open surgical conversion following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) may occur more frequently after performing EVAR in anatomy outside the instructions for use (IFU). This study reviews predictors and outcomes of late open surgical conversion for failed EVAR.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study reviewed all EVARs performed at the Ottawa Hospital between January 1999 and May 2015.
