Objective: Endovascular aortic repair for abdominal aneurysm or thoracic aortic aneurysm has been widely used in recent clinical setting.The placement of a stent graft within the aorta may affect wave reflection or pulse wave velocity.The purpose of this study was to evaluated the change in wave reflection and aortic stiffness after endovascular aortic repair.Methods: A total of 28 patients (mean age 77 years old, 25 men) were evaluated before and one to three month later after the implantation of aortic stent graft.Wave reflection was examined at the wrist using applanation tonometry (HEM-9000AI, Omron Healthcare Co., Kyoto, Japan).Arterial stiffness was evaluated with cardio-ankle vascular index (VaSera Vascular Screening System (Fukuda Denshi, Tokyo,Japan).
