Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Technical Success | 30 Days | Technical success to assess the renal ostia and the hypogastric arteries (defined as 100% accuracy correlated to the iodinated contrast agent angiography or IVUS/FUSION techniques) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Image Quality | 30 Days | Image quality for guiding the procedure defined as good for stent-graft implantation or low not allowing stent-graft implantation |
| Endoleak Detection | 30 Days | Type I-IV endoleak detection |
| CO2 Quantity | 30 Days | Amount of CO2 at each deployment step (renal arteries, right/left hypogastric artery, final angiography) |
| Aneurysm Exclusion | 30 Days | Aneurysm exclusion without type I or III endoleaks at the CT scan at discharge |
| Adverse Events | 30 Days | Any adverse event within 24 hours |
