Data on study type, demographic, lesion length, stent-graft diameter, length, and patency (1-year, 3-year, 5-year primary patency, primary-assisted patency, and secondary patency), follow-up, endoleak, and re-intervention rates were extracted and analyzed.

There was considerable heterogeneity in reporting standards among studies. The diameter of Viabahn stent-grafts ranged 5 to 7mm and the average length was 23.6\u00b112.4cm. Heparin-bonded grafts were used in 46.4% of cases. Mean follow-up time was 26.4\u00b117.6 months. The 1- and 5-year primary patency rate was 75.7% (95% CI, 73.6%\u201377.8%) and 46.8% (95% CI, 41.0%\u201352.6%), respectively. The 1- and 5-year primary-assisted patency rate was 80.9% (95% CI, 73.9%\u201387.8%) and 60.9% (95% CI, 46.4\u201375.5%), respectively. The 1- and 5-year second-assisted patency was 90.4% (95% CI, 87.4%\u201393.3%) and 73.7% (95% CI, 64.7%\u201382.8%), respectively.
