The main criterion for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair is an AAA diameter≥ 5.5 cm.
However, some AAAs rupture when they are smaller. Size alone may therefore not be a …

Background Identifying patients at risk for aneurysm rupture and sac expansion after open
and endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair (EVAR) may help to attenuate …

In 2009, I proposed that the size threshold for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
repair may need to be lowered in the endovascular era. 1 The current 5.5-cm-diameter …

Objective Although the endovascular aneurysm repair trial 2 (EVAR-2) demonstrated no
benefit of EVAR in high-risk (HR) patients, EVAR is still performed widely in this patient …

Open repair is still considered the reference standard for long-term repair of abdominal
aortic aneurysms (AAA). In contrast to endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), patients with …

Background—The majority of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repairs in the
United States are performed with endovascular methods. Baseline aortoiliac arterial …

Purpose: As a minimally invasive strategy for the treatment of patients with abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA), endovascular repair has been embraced with enthusiasm because of the …

Background The aim of the study was to assess the clinical utility of strict CT scan
surveillance after endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair (EVAR) and evaluate whether …

OBJECTIVE: To review, in the era of endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR), the
clinical spectrum of colonic ischemia (CI) following abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair …

Since the initial reports in mid-1990s, 5, 6 EVAR for ruptured AAA has evolved from being
performed selectively by a few centers in hemodynamically stable patients to being …
