Identification of Factors Influencing Cumulative Long-Term Radiation Exposure in Patients Undergoing EVAR.

With regard to the EVAR procedure, our data showed a trend towards a lower radiation exposure during the last 12–18 months of the study period, which may be interpreted as reflecting a learning curve or operator dependence of the ED and representing a potentially modifiable factor impacting the radiation dose delivered to patients not only during the EVAR procedure but also during any secondary endovascular procedures performed.
