case_images: (A) Pre-operative 3D reconstruction (3Mentio Medical Imaging B.V., Bilthoven, The Netherlands) of the 7.5-cm abdominal aortic aneurysm. The aneurysm contains no intraluminal thrombus at all, as can be seen in the coronal (B) and axial plane (C) of the computed-tomography angiography.

case_images: The left common iliac artery presented with 90  angulation (Figure 1A). Notably, the AAA presented no intraluminal thrombus at all (Figures 1B,C).
case_images: Volume-rendering reconstruction of the aneurysm after the implantation of a modular nitinol-based endograft (Bolton Medical, Barcelona, Spain).

case_images: Treovance (Bolton Medical, Barcelona, Spain) aortic SG, a modular endovascular graft composed of a series of self-expanding serpentine Nitinol stents sutured to tightly woven polyester vascular graft fabric. The chosen proximal diameter of the endograft was 24 mm (corresponding to 10% oversizing) with a main body length of 80 mm (Figure 2).
case_images: Pulse wave analysis. A validated software (ARCSolver) reconstructs the central pulse wave and calculates the amplitudes of forward and reflection waves. The pressure curves correspond to the preoperative state (A), first post-operative week (B), and first post-operative month (C).

case_images: Technology, Vienna, Austria) to provide the brachial cuff waveform readings, the reconstruction of the central pulse, and the wave separation analysis. The quantification of pulse wave reflections (Figure 3) focuses on estimation of: (i) the central aortic systolic pressure and (ii) its augmentation through reflections in the vasculature.
