This retrospective validation study showed that apposition surfaces between an endograft and the infrarenal neck can be calculated accurately and with low variability. Determination of the (ap)position of the endograft in the aortic neck and detection of subtle changes during follow-up are crucial to determining eventual failure after EVAR.
