Adherence to endovascular aortic aneurysm repair device instructions for use guidelines has no impact on outcomes.
The authors reported on their long-term endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) experience in a large multicenter registry with regard to adherence to instructions for use (IFU) guidelines. They found that overall mortality and aneurysm-related mortality were unaffected by IFU adherence, and that rates of endoleak and reintervention after initial EVAR were similar, suggesting that lack of IFU-based anatomic suitability was not a driver of outcomes.
