The ALTO stent graft, featuring a unique polymer sealing mechanism, has been reported to exhibit less PND. This study aims to compare PND and clinical outcomes between the ALTO stent graft and alternative self-expanding stent grafts.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The CustomSEAL study is a multi-center retrospective observational study involving 18 institutions in Japan. It compares EVAR outcomes using the ALTO stent graft and alternative self-expanding stent grafts for fusiform AAAs. The primary outcome measure was the difference in PND at 12 months post-EVAR. Secondary outcome measures included aneurysm sac diameter changes, reintervention rates, and mortality outcomes during the follow-up.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>After propensity score matching, 111 patient pairs were extracted. Baseline characteristics, including proximal neck length/diameter and stent graft oversizing, were comparable between groups. The ALTO stent graft was associated with significantly less PND at 12 months (2.3% vs. 26.7%, P < 0.001). There were no significant differences in perioperative outcomes, aneurysm sac diameter changes, reintervention rates, or overall survival between the groups.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The ALTO stent graft demonstrated significantly less PND at 12 months post-EVAR compared to alternative self-expanding stent grafts, highlighting its potential advantage in exerting less chronic expanding force on the proximal aortic neck.
