Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are individuals with non-ruptured infrarenal or iliac aneurysms who meet the anatomical criteria for stentgraft treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients currently on dialysis or those with anatomical conditions that prevent the use of both fixation types will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This randomized controlled trial investigates how different stentgraft fixation methods affect renal function in patients undergoing treatment for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. Participants will be recruited across Scandinavia and will undergo computerized randomization to receive either active supra- or infrarenal fixation. Baseline data will be collected, and follow-up assessments will occur at 1 month, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years, including blood tests and CT scans to evaluate renal function and stentgraft performance. Health-related quality of life will also be assessed through questionnaires at these follow-up points.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved renal outcomes for patients undergoing stentgraft treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored stentgraft treatments, but this specific approach comparing fixation types is novel.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Willing and able to provide written informed consent * Meet criteria for non-ruptured infrarenal/iliac aneurysm * Suitable anatomy for treatment with an approved device (CE-marked) stentgraft according to the manufacturers' instructions for use for AAA. * Accepted for treatment with endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) by the participating vascular center. Exclusion Criteria: * Ongoing or planned dialysis * AAA treatment requiring stents or stentgrafts in renal and/or visceral arteries * Inability to independently complete HRQoL questionnaires due to language barriers * Anatomical preconditions that do not allow both types of fixation to be used interchangeably, i.e. very advanced suprarenal tortuosity (\>60 degrees), advanced suprarenal dilatation or infrarenal thrombus \>25% of circumference.
