Implications of concomitant hypogastric artery embolization with endovascular repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms

Concomitant HAE with EVAR is associated with longer and more complicated hospital stays. Ischemic colitis is a rare complication of EVAR. HAE increases the risk of ischemic colitis and renal failure requiring dialysis. This study highlights the importance of hypogastric artery preservation during EVAR.
