AAA, Abdominal aortic aneurysm; CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; IFU, instructions for use; N/A, not applicable.

^aBecause of the small number of patients with adverse events and ARM, a “stepwise” method was used in the multivariable regression model; therefore, the results included in the table are limited to predictors with effects meeting the significance level of .05 to enter and to remain in the model.

^bReferent group.

^cUsed in the multivariable regression models for all-cause mortality and ARM only.
