abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) has resulted in endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) …

BACKGROUND: Endovascular procedure volume has increased rapidly, and endovascular
procedures have become the initial treatment option for many vascular diseases …

Background Widespread adoption of endovascular aneurysm repair has led to a
consequential decline in the use of open aneurysm repair (OAR). This evolution has had …

Objective Since the introduction of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), the volume of
open aneurysm repair (OAR) has steadily declined since 2000. The introduction of next …
