Clinical predictors of type II endoleaks after EVAR: a systematic review of risk and protective factors

Introduction: The present systematic review seeks to examine clinical factors potentially associated with endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) failure due to type II endoleaks (TIIEL).

Source of data: Relevant literature was sourced from PubMed, including all studies regarding clinical features possibly linked to TIIEL, written in English. Studies focused on anatomical predictors, case reports, and abstracts were excluded. The literature search used keywords related to clinical characteristics, comorbidities, and demographics common in EVAR patients.
