Abstract
- Endovascular repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is widely adopted; however, the procedure may be jeopardized by type 2 endoleak (T2E). Most T2Es regress over time, but their evolution is unpredictable. There is some evidence about the pleiotropic statin effect on AAA and thrombus stabilization, but there are no data on the influence of statins on T2E. The study’s aim is therefore to evaluate a possible effect of statins on T2E evolution.
