Association Between Abdominal Aortic Diameter and Major Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events After Infrarenal Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair.

The cumulative incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events after endovascular aneurysm repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms is relatively high, and the maximum diameter of the abdominal aortic aneurysms is a predictor of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.

Clinical ImpactMajor adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events remain an important long-term concern after endovascular aneurysm repair.

In this large retrospective cohort, approximately one in five patients experienced major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events within 5 years, after accounting for competing noncardiovascular/noncerebrovascular mortality.
