The present invention provides a package comprising an aortoiliac artery graft and a record of a measured pressurized diameter of the aortoiliac artery graft, which measurement has been determined ex vivo under a pressure. A method of processing an aortoiliac artery graft is also provided. The processing method comprises subjecting an aortoiliac artery to a pressure ex vivo, and determining a measured pressurized diameter of the aortoiliac artery under the pressure. A method of treating abdominal aortic aneurysm, infected aortoiliac endograft or a traumatically damaged abdominal aorta or an iliac artery in a patient is further provided. The treatment method comprises anastomosing a processed aortoiliac artery graft with an aorta of the patient on the proximal end and the iliac or femoral arteries on the distal end, wherein a measured pressurized diameter of the processed aortoiliac artery graft has been determined ex vivo under a pressure.
