    Histogram of extension usage for each device. Most of the AneuRx cases required two or more extensions to complete the repair, and 68.3% of Excluder cases required at least one extension to complete the repair. For the Zenith implants, 83.1% of patients required only the basic three-piece configuration, without any additional pieces.
