![]() Prophylactic use of EndoAnchors in patients with hostile aortic neck anatomy appears promising, but definitive conclusions must await longer term follow-up data. Use of EndoAnchors to treat existing and acute type Ia endoleaks and endograft migration was successful in most cases. There were no open surgical conversions, there were no aneurysm-related deaths, and no aneurysm ruptured during follow-up. Among the 18 secondary procedures, eight were performed for residual type Ia endoleaks and the others were unrelated to EndoAnchors. During mean follow-up of 9.3 ± 4.7 months, 301 patients (94.4%) were free from secondary procedures. There were 29 residual type Ia endoleaks (9.1%) at the end of the procedure. Their BuildZoom score of 90 indicates that they are licensed or registered but we do not have additional information about them. Technical success was achieved in 303 patients (95.0%) and procedural success in 279 patients (87.5%), 217 of 240 (89.7%) and 62 of 77 (80.5%) in the primary and revision arms, respectively. Aptus Group Usa,LLC, 5930 Northwoods Business Pkwy, Charlotte, NC holds a General Contractors license according to the Alabama license board. The number of EndoAnchors deployed was 5.8 ± 2.1 (4-7). The proximal aortic neck averaged 16 ± 13 (7-23) mm in length (42.7% <10 mm and 42.7% conical) and 27 ± 4 mm (25-30 mm) in diameter infrarenal neck angulation was 24 ± 15 (13-34) degrees. Aneurysms averaged 58 ± 13 (51-63) mm in diameter at the time of EndoAnchor implantation (core laboratory measurements). Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation and interquartile range. Procedural success was defined as technical success without a type Ia endoleak at completion angiography. Technical success was defined as deployment of the desired number of EndoAnchors, adequate penetration of the vessel wall, and absence of EndoAnchor fracture. Aptus is the nations leader in the installation of bridge-attached. EndoAnchors were implanted in 242 patients (75.9%) at the time of an initial EVAR procedure (primary arm) and in 77 patients with an existing endograft and proximal aortic neck complications (revision arm).

Proximal attachment site complications continue to occur after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (EVAR), specifically type Ia endoleak and endograft migration. ![]()
