Summary
Brief summary
Retrospective data have shown that active sac management, as applied in EVAS, reduces the
incidence of the post-implant syndrome. All-cause and cardiac mortality at one-year seems to
be lower after EVAS when compared to EVAR. Ongoing, low grade, inflammation could differ
between techniques and induce cardiac damage.

This study is designed to establish whether EVAS results in a reduced post-operative
inflammatory response during the first year after surgery, compared to EVAR as assessed by
trends in circulating inflammatory cytokine concentration.

Study design: International prospective, comparative, explorative study. Study population:
Patients scheduled to undergo infra-renal EVAR with a polyester endograft or EVAS for an
infrarenal aortic aneurysm. This is an explorative study and therefore only patients who
would normally receive a suitable device as part of standard treatment at the participating
institutes will be recruited. Blood samples will be taken at specified time points before and
after surgery.

Main study parameters/endpoints: The difference in early post-operative and long term
inflammatory response between EVAS and EVAR, measured by the incidence of the post-implant
syndrome. To investigate the incidence of the post-implant syndrome, the rise in CRP, WBC and
circulating cytokines, at specified time points up to 12 months after surgery and the change
in aortic thrombus volume and its relationship with the inflammatory response, measured by
cytokines' concentrations.
