EVAR is still somehow in the evaluation period as a modality for treatment of infrarenal AAA that is capable of totally replacing the conventional open repair. Though it proved less perioperative mortality and morbidity but it is questionable the value of EVAR in terms of long term results and graft-related complications and the need for reintervention. Methods during the period between January 2012 and October 2013, we treated a total of 30 patients suffering from infrarenal AAA > 5 cm in the widest diameter. Every patient was checked to ensure the suitability for both modalities of treatment in terms of aneurysm anatomy and general medical status
