ABSTRACT

Since its first implementation in patients in 1991, endovascular aneurysm repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms has gained wide acceptance and availability. This development has been fueled in great part by advances in stent-graft design and by a variety of devices for various anatomic features. This commentary will summarize some of these endograft developments and indicate the path forward for novel endoprostheses.
