Impact of Grafts and Endografts for Abdominal Aneurysms on Arterial Stiffness.

Completed
Conditions
Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
Interventions
Other: non-invasive methods
Registration Number
NCT02642952
Lead Sponsor
Hospital Universitario Ramon y Cajal
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate by non-invasive methods the change in central hemodynamics and arterial stiffness produced by grafts and endografts after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

Our main goal is to measure the changes in:

Augmentation index, central blood pressure, pulse wave analysis, pulse wave velocity.

Detailed Description

The measures will be done before the procedure and after them.

We will use the device called: SphygmocoR (Atcor Medical, Sydney, Australia).
