Abstract

The current report proposes a DRL for DAP of 152.6 Gy·cm<sup>2</sup> for EVAR procedures in Sweden, with specific benchmark DAP values proposed for subgroups of patients. There is a considerable difference between different centres in radiation dose, suggesting a potential for implementation of improved radiation routines in some centres based on benchmarking.
