EVAR LIMB OCCLUSIONS
         EVAR Occlusion                                                                                                      EVAR limb occlusion is uncommon, and often a result due to kinking of the graft from angulation


                                                                                                                             of the iliac arteries.  Late occlusions can result due to disease or reduced flow.
