Impact of Grafts and Endografts for Abdominal Aneurysms on Arterial Stiffness.

Hospital Universitario Ramon y Cajal52 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate by non-invasive methods the change in central hemodynamics and arterial stiffness produced by grafts and endografts after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Our main goal is to measure the changes in: Augmentation index, central blood pressure, pulse wave analysis, pulse wave velocity.

The measures will be done before the procedure and after them. We will use the device called: SphygmocoR (Atcor Medical, Sydney, Australia).
