Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The Percentage of Subjects Experiencing a Major Adverse Event (MAE) Within 30 Days Post-implantation.	The percentage of subjects experiencing a Major Adverse Event (MAE) within 30 days post-implantation. MAEs include the occurrence of any of the following events: All-cause mortality; Bowel ischemia; Myocardial infarction; Paraplegia; Procedural blood loss ≥1000 cc; Renal failure; Respiratory failure; Stroke	30-days
The Percentage of Subjects With Both Technical Success at the Time of Index Procedure and Treatment Success at 12-months Post-implantation.	Successful aneurysm treatment was achieved based on the following criteria: Technical success at the index procedure (as assessed intra-operatively), defined as successful delivery and deployment of the Endurant Evo AAA Stent graft system in the planned location and with no unintentional coverage of both internal iliac arteries or any visceral aortic branches and with successful removal of the delivery system AND Treatment success consisting of freedom from: AAA diameter increase, defined as > 5 mm increase in maximum diameter as measured on computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance angiography/magnetic resonance imaging (MRA/MRI) at 12-month follow-up as compared to 1-month imaging; Types I and III endoleaks at 12-month follow-up including those requiring intervention through 12 months; Aneurysm rupture within 365 days; Conversion to surgery within 365 days; Stent graft migration resulting in a serious adverse event or requiring seco	12-months

Secondary Procedures to Correct Type I and III Endoleaks	Any reintervention procedure (surgical or endovascular) following the completion of the operative initial implantation procedure that is used to correct a Type I and III endoleaks within 183 and 365 days. Type I endoleak was defined as a leak resulting from an incomplete seal of the endograft proximally or distally and a Type III endoleak was defined as a leak resulting from a defect of fabric or between the segments of the modular graft (junctional endoleak.	within 183, and 365 days

Main body stent graft migration is defined as evidence of movement of the main body stent graft relative to fixed anatomic landmarks, which is not due to remodeling of the subject's vasculature. Migration is observed when the stent graft completely covers a renal artery or movement is > 10 mm either distally or proximally. Stent graft limb/extension migration is defined as evidence of a movement of the stent graft limbs/extensions relative to fixed anatomic landmarks, which is not due to remodeling of the subject's vasculature that is > 10 mm or coverage of the internal iliac artery.

Aneurysm Expansion >5 mm	Aneurysm expansion >5 mm at 6- and 12-month follow-up visits (as compared to 1-month imaging)	at 6- and 12-month follow-up visits (as compared to 1-month imaging)
All Endoleaks Based on Imaging Findings	All endoleaks based on imaging findings at 1-month, 6-month and 12-month. An endoleak is defined by the presence of contrast-enhanced blood outside the lumen of the endoluminal graft but within the aneurysm sac as seen on computed tomography (CT), angiography, ultrasound, or other appropriate imaging modality.	at 1-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up visits
Stent Graft Occlusions Based on Imaging Findings	Stent graft occlusions based on imaging findings through 1-, 6- and 12 months. Stent graft occlusion is defined as a 100% blockage of the lumen diameter of any implanted stent graft component(s) as evidenced by CT, angiography, ultrasound, or other appropriate imaging modality, and/or operative or pathological analysis.	Through 1-, 6- and 12 months
Device Deficiencies Based on Imaging Findings	Device deficiencies based on imaging findings through 6- and 12 months. A device deficiency was defined according Inadequacy of a medical device with respect to its identity, quality, durability, reliability, safety or performance (ref. ISO 14155:2011 3.15).
