In the healthcare industry, the role of Endovascular Aortic Repair is immense. It is one of the effective and efficient procedures to cure an aneurysm of the aorta and arteries. In the surgery of abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysm, it is primarily conducted, out of which the abdominal aortic aneurysm is the most common cause. In the entire procedure of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair, a stent is placed in the area of the affected aorta, where it acts as an alternative channel for the flowing of blood. This stent-graft assists in eliminating the pressure of the blood flow in the aneurysm sac, and hence, it minimizes the overall risk of rupturing the aneurysm walls. Also, crucial factors like the location and the shape of the aneurysm are some of the factors that the repair of an aneurysm depends
A letter was published by the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to the health care providers highlighting the importance of regular imaging surveillance for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). For patients with AAA and EVAR implantation, EVAR is a safe and effective treatment that has replaced open surgery in the U.S. According to research, it has been found that within a range of 20 to 30 percent of the patients require reintervention throughout the entire period of life.

Moreover, to detect problems like endoleaks, loss of patency, device migration, or aneurysm sac regression failure, Imaging surveillance is widely used. Furthermore, within thirty days of getting their EVAR implant, the patients must have an imaging evaluation follow-up and also should possess follow-ups on an annual basis throughout the rest of their lives. Through a small cut or opening, a fabric tube that is backed up by metal wire stents known as a stent graft is pushed into the aneurysm during the entire process of EVAR. This aortic stent-graft which is utilized in the whole EVAR procedure plays a key role in strengthening the weak spot in the aorta.
Through the lumen of an access vessel, EVAR is mostly performed by putting graft components that are primarily compressed and folded within a delivery sheath. After the approval of endograft devices for their utilization in the United States of America, there has been an increase of about 600 % in the annual number of the EVAR procedures that have been performed.
