description The Nellix endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) system is an alternative endovascular treatment option for infrarenal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), with a unique appearance on computed tomography angiography (CTA). Normal evolution of post-EVAS CTA appearance follow-up is still largely unknown and important to timely detect eventual complications. The objective is to assess the normal appearance of CTA images 30 days and 1 year after EVAS in 50 consecutive patients. Fifty patients treated with Nellix EVAS for an infrarenal AAA were included from 3 hospitals. Using dedicated software, a total of 150 CTA scans were analyzed by predetermined variables per anatomical segment. Thirty days post-EVAS, there was a slight, but not statistically significant, increase in AAA diameter that returned to the preoperative value after 1 year. A shift in total aortic volume distribution was observed without changing aortic diameter, including a trend toward a decreased thrombus volume (85.6 ± 49.1 mL and 78.8 ± 35.5 mL at 30 days and 1 year, respectively, P
