group (P < .01). Additionally, patients with stent graft rotation had significantly higher rates of type I and type III endoleaks (36% vs 9%; P < .05). Conclusions: Iliac artery torsion and calcification are strongly associated with stent graft rotation, and patients who experience intraoperative stent graft rotation have significantly higher rates of severe postoperative complications. These findings also suggest that preoperative quantitative analysis of iliac artery torsion and calcification is important for patient risk stratification prior to advanced EVAR.
