Surgical and medical complications of EVAR

Surgical	Medical
Maldeployment or malposition of graft	Acute coronary syndromes
Arterial rupture/arterial dissection	Acute congestive cardiac failure
Delayed AAA rupture	Acute renal failure/CIN
Stent-graft limb thrombosis leading to lower limb ischemia	Arrhythmia
Graft migration (unusual with new stent grafts)	Respiratory infection
Endoleak	Venous thromboembolism
Rupture of iliac artery (commoner in women who have smaller arteries than men)	Cerebrovascular accident
Ischemia of: Spinal cord, kidneys, liver, bowel, legs	Postimplantation syndrome
Graft infection (very rare)
Paralysis (very rare)
