The purpose of this study was to report the outcome of EVAR using EXCLUDER endoprosthesis (W. L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, Ariz.) with low-porosity polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in the medium term. We reviewed a 10-year-experience with this device to document the outcome of 100 consecutive elective EVARs with Excluder-Device performed at a single centre. ⋯ EVAR using the EXCLUDER-Device is a safe, effective, and durable method to prevent AAA rupture and aneurysm-related death. Assuming suitable AAA anatomy, these data justify a broad application within a wide spectrum of patients.
