Adjectival Hyphens

"Pre-procedure evaluation"

Line 24:5 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'Pre-procedure'.

"The key to successful EVAR is proper pre-procedural planning. Not all aneurysms are suitable for EVAR, depending on the anatomy of the aneurysm and iliac vessels. Careful aneurysm measurements (usually with CTA) will ensure the graft is the correct length and diameter for those deemed suitable. If the graft is too short, the aneurysm will not be excluded from the circulation; if it is too long, important branch vessels may be inadvertently occluded; if it is too narrow in diameter, there will not be an adequate seal against the aortic wall which may result in an endoleak."

Line 25:41 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'pre-procedural'.

"inflammation - post-implantation syndrome: 14-60% ¹⁵"

"The pre-EVAR CTA also needs to assess the access vessels (i.e., the CFA, EIA, and CIAs) to document any atherosclerotic disease as well as the diameters of these vessels (for passage of the device delivery systems)."

Prefix Hyphens

warning

"For elective AAAs compared to open repair, EVAR shows improved 30-day operative mortality but this is not sustained by five years. There are also higher rates of delayed complications and re-intervention in EVAR ^5,6. However, for ruptured AAAs EVAR may demonstrate reduced peri-operative and longer-term (four years) mortality compared to open repair ⁷."

Line 57:288 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'peri-operative'.
