ENDOVASCULAR ANEURYSM REPAIR
Prevention and treatment of complications
PROPOSITIONS BELONGING TO THIS THESIS
Seline Rachelle Goudeketting
1. The use of the 3D image fusion technology during EVAR procedures can reduce the amount of contrast and radiation dose which may improve the patient’s and physician’s safety. (this thesis)
2. The assessment of endograft limb position and apposition with the new CT-applied software may prevent late seal failures and type IB endoleaks. (this thesis)
3. Analysis of the position and penetration of EndoAnchors on the first postoperative CT scan may indicate the location of proximal seal failures during follow-up. (this thesis) 4. Prophylactic use of EndoAnchors may reduce the number of late conversions after
EVAR. (this thesis)
5. The helically shaped EndoAnchors show a strong resemblance to the pointed metallic helix of a corkscrew; It would be interesting to study the correlation between a vascular surgeon’s experience with opening a bottle of wine and the learning curve to adequately deploy EndoAnchors.
6. If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it? (Albert Einstein)
