Résumé
The aim of this study was to establish complexity-based local diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for standard endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) procedures. Dosimetric data for 73 consecutive patients were collected prospectively. All procedures were performed on a Siemens Axiom Artis FA angiographic unit (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany). Fluoroscopy time (FT), dose area product (DAP), air kerma (K 2nd quartiles of DAP for low, medium and high complexity standard EVAR procedures were 144.2 Gycm The complexity of an EVAR procedure is associated with the total burden of radiation. Establishment of complexity-based DRLs for interventional radiology procedures can contribute to the radiation protection of patients and staff.
