Predictors of 30-day Postoperative Outcome After Elective EVAR

Inclusion Criteria: * Only patients managed with EVAR using standard bifurcated devices in elective setting were included. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients treated for ruptured, symptomatic, inflammatory or infectious AAA were excluded. Furthermore, any patient needing complex endovascular repair of the proximal landing zone was considered ineligible. Additional exclusion criteria were the presence of any trauma or surgery within two months before EVAR, any autoimmune or systemic inflammatory disease and any malignancy.
