TL;DR
As a single imaging modality, 3D CT appears to have the best correlation for both diameters and lengths; however, the difference is not sufficient enough to alter endograft selection.
Abstract
Reproducible and comparable measures of diameter and length can be obtained by each of three imaging modalities available for endograft sizing. As a single imaging modality, 3D CT appears to have the best correlation for both diameters and lengths; however, the difference is not sufficient enough to alter endograft selection. Three-dimensional CT may be reserved for challenging aortic anatomy where small differences in measurements would affect patient or graft selection for EVAR.

Experiments showed that when a balloon-expandable stent was sutured to the partially overlapping ends of a tubular, knitted Dacron graft, friction seals were created which fixed the ends of the graft to the vessel wall, which excludes the aneurysm from circulation and allows normal flow through the graft lumen.
