Impact of Grafts and Endografts for Abdominal Aneurysms on Arterial Stiffness.

Impact of Aortic Grafts After Open and Endovascular Repair in Central Hemodynamics and Arterial Stiffness Measured by Non-invasive Methods in Patients With Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate by non-invasive methods the change in central hemodynamics and arterial stiffness produced by grafts and endografts after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

Our main goal is to measure the changes in:

Augmentation index, central blood pressure, pulse wave analysis, pulse wave velocity.

The measures will be done before the procedure and after them.

We will use the device called: SphygmocoR (Atcor Medical, Sydney, Australia).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm requiring repair (open or endovascular) based on guidelines criteria for management.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients who don´t want to enter in the study.
• Patients who don´t want to sign the informed consent.
