About

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.

Full description

The measures will be done before the procedure and after them.

We will use the device called: SphygmocoR (Atcor Medical, Sydney, Australia).

Enrollment: 52 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 50 to 90 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Patients with diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm requiring repair (open or endovascular) based on guidelines criteria for management.

Exclusion criteria

• Patients who don´t want to enter in the study.
• Patients who don´t want to sign the informed consent.

Endograft group

Description:

Patients treated for abdominal aortic aneurysm with endograft will be measured for central hemodynamics and arterial stiffness by non-invasive methods.
