    Another patient with unfa-
    vorable AAA anatomy for
    EVAR.  The neck, although
    long, is very angled at 90 de-
    grees.  The left lower acces-
    sory renal artery may need
    to be covered to maximize
    proximal sealing zone.  His
    right common iliac artery is
    also aneurysmal.  This is a
    borderline patient and the

    devision will be determined
    by a balance of his general
    condition and the risk of rein-
    terventions and endoleak.
