Ankura stent graft is a novel PTFE endograft with suprarenal fixation for infrarenal aneurysm repair. This retrospective cohort study of 116 patients provide a first "picture" of Ankura safety and efficacy in a European tertiary vascular center. High technical success rate, low aneurysm related mortality and high limb patency rate are the main findings of the study with a negative impact of suprarenal fixation on kidney function during follow up.
