• If the diameter of the distal aorta through which the two limbs must pass is the same (or less) than the sum of their diameters, there may be compression of one of the limbs, increasing the risk of occlusion or kinking (Figure 1).

Can EVAR be performed with a narrow distal aorta?

• Another possible solution to allow EVAR in the presence of a narrow distal aorta may be an aorto-uni-iliac (AUI) graft. Although AUI implantation is an attractive option when compared to the use of a modular main body device in this anatomy, there are limitations to its applicability.
