The present study confirms that treatment of infrarenal AAA with an Anaconda stent-graft is related to a relatively high TE rate which decreases with a pre-to-postoperative reduction in curvature and TI, and a larger degree of circumferential CIA calcification. In other words, more aortoiliac straightening and more circumferential CIA calcification may prevent TE development after EVAR with this stent-graft.
