Official Title: Impact of Aortic Grafts After Open and Endovascular Repair in Central Hemodynamics and Arterial Stiffness Measured by Non-invasive Methods in Patients With Abdominal Aortic Aneur

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 Summary:

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

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