All rights reserved.Klaassen et al. conducted a retrospective observational matched cohort study comparing patients undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) with or without the use of Fiber Optic RealShape (FORS) technology. They compared the use of FORS during contralateral gate cannulation in 27 cases matched (age, sex, and body mass index) with 27 patients using regular (fluoroscopy only) EVAR. The results indicated a reduction in cumulative air kerma, air kerma area product, and fluoroscopy time during gate cannulation. However, no significant differences were observed in overall cannulation time, total procedure time, or total procedure radiation exposure. Their study builds on previous research on FORS in endovascular procedures, including in pre-clinical models and human trials.engjournal article10.1016/j.ejvs.2023.12.0021532-2165
