Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| the main outcome parameters are reinterventions and survival stratified for patients with and without yearly imaging surveillance during 6-11 years follow-up (in patient with a normal initial postoperative CTA) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - To assess type I, type II, type III and type IV endoleak, graft or outflow (iliac) occlusion, aneurysm rupture, endograft infection stratified for patients with complete and incomplete yearly standardised imaging surveillance (and a normal initial postoperative CTA). -To assess reintervention free survival stratified for patients with complete and incomplete yearly standardised imaging surveillance (and a normal initial postoperative CTA). - To assess if there is a difference in the number of patients with aneurysm rupture stratified for patients with complete and incomplete yearly standardised imaging surveillance (and a normal initial postoperative CTA). - To assess if there is a difference in the number of reinterventions or mortality between follow-up imaging with CTA or DUS. - To assess if there is a difference in costs stratified for patients with complete and incomplete yearly standardised imaging surveillance (and a normal initial postoperative CTA). | — |
