Popis: Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate if non-invasive central pressure estimations are accurate in patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm, before and after endovascular repair. Secondary evaluation was if measurement-accuracy was dependent on anatomical characteristics. Methods: Procedural invasive and non-invasive pressure-measurements were performed simultaneously both before and after endovascular repair in 20 patients with an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. Invasive catheter measurements were performed in the abdominal aorta. A tonometric device was used to perform non-invasive pressure–wave-analysis at the radial artery. A generalized transfer-function was used to generate an ascending aortic waveform for both measurements, allowing for direct comparison. Results: Pre-treatment the mean differences between methods were − 5.5 mmHg (p = .904), − 11.8 (p
