BACKGROUND: RETA is a voluntary registry within the UK established as a joint venture between radiologists and surgeons. The aim is to evaluate carefully the endovascular treatment of @entity1028 during introduction into clinical practice. METHODS: Some 367 @entity1 have been included in the registry from 23 centres since its inception on 1 January 1996. In the majority (82 per cent) an elective repair was performed for an asymptomatic @entity439 . The mean age of the @entity1 was 71.9 years and 28 per cent were deemed unsuitable for conventional repair. One hundred and ninety-nine bifurcated (54 per cent), 18 tube (5 per cent) and 148 aortouni-iliac with crossover (40 per cent) stent graft types were placed. RESULTS: At the end of the procedure 77 per cent of @entity439 were excluded with no complications. Twenty-one @entity1 (6 per cent) required conversion to open repair. Forty-four (12 per cent) required additional endovascular procedures. At 30 days 87 per cent of the @entity439 were excluded or repaired. The 30-day mortality rate was 7 per cent (n = 24) with a significant improvement between 1996 and 1997, from 11 to 4 per cent. There were 25 persistent leaks (7 per cent). The @entity204 rate was related to the fitness of @entity1 , device used and requirement for conversion. One-year follow-up data are available for 140 @entity1 . There have been 13 deaths (9 per cent), three @entity397 (2 per cent) and some form of complication in 20 per cent of cases overall. CONCLUSION: Improving results have been demonstrated for the primary procedure. At present there is a relatively high complication rate and @entity397 have occurred. Rigorous continued follow-up is required.
