N2 - Objective: Suprarenal bare metal stent separation is a rare complication after endovascular aneurysm repair. In this report, two new cases of this type of device failure are presented and the literature is reviewed to identify similar cases and evaluate associated clinical characteristics. Methods: A literature search was conducted in March 2022 using PubMed, Embase, and The Cochrane Library, with MeSH terms including aortic aneurysm, stents, and device failure. Two authors independently selected studies eligible for inclusion. Results: Twelve patients with endovascular graft suprarenal bare metal stent separation were identified. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) devices were implanted between May 1996 and November 2017. Suprarenal bare metal stent separation was detected after a median duration of five years post-operatively. Conclusion: Endovascular graft suprarenal bare metal stent separation demands a high level of awareness. A better understanding of the involved failure mechanisms and associated risk factors is required to further optimise EVAR follow up protocols.
