Results: Braided grafts showed a greater mean diameter (9.39 ± 0.63 mm) compared with nonbraided grafts (8.87 ± 0.74 mm) ( P < .001) and a numerically lower rerupture rate (2/78 [2.6%] vs 6/76 [7.9%]); however, this difference did not reach statistical significance (Fisher exact test, P = .16; fragility index = 1).
