Sangiorgi et al. (S2) described the effect of surgery on plasma MMP levels in patients with aortic aneurysms. After endovascular grafts and open surgery of aortic aneurysms, both plasma MMP-9 and MMP-3 decreased >50%. The authors proposed that a lack of decrease in plasma MMP levels after endovascular grafting may help to identify patients who will have postoperative endovascular leakage.

The Cook Zenith AAA endovascular graft was approved for use by the FDA in May 2003 (FDA 2013). It contains three different components the main graft module, the contralateral limb module, and the ipsilateral iliac extension (Fig. 21.12). All of these are constructed with a full-thickness woven polyester fabric attached to self-expanding stainless steel Cook-Z stents with braided polyester and monofilament polypropylene sutures. The distal end of the main body has a bare stainless steel stent designed to allow suprarenal fixation without disrupting blood flow through the renal arteries (Fig. 21.13). The stent also has hooks on each strut spaced 3 mm apart that are intended to dig into the aortic wall and prevent migration (Fig. 21.13). The proximal covered stent, located just below the bare suprarenal stent.
