Background An abnormal dilatation of the abdominal aorta is referred to as an abdominal
aortic aneurysm (AAA). Due to the risk of rupture, surgical repair is offered electively to …

Background The effect on outcome of the introduction of endovascular techniques for the
exclusion of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is largely unknown. The aim of the study was …

Background Two randomized trials have shown better outcomes with elective endovascular
repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms than with conventional open repair in the first month …

Objectives To determine whether follow-up survival is better after elective endovascular
aneurysm repair (EVAR) than open surgical repair (OSR) for intact abdominal aortic …

Background Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become the most common
procedure for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms based on multiple studies conducted in …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has a reported prevalence rate of 1.4% in the US. AAA
rupture accounts for an estimated 15,000 deaths per year, rendering it the 10th leading …

Background Although the initial results of endovascular repair (EVAR) were promising, a
comparison of its long-term efficacy against open surgical repair (OSR) remains largely …

Objective Increasing experience and improving technology have led to the expansion of
endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). We …

Objective To document mortality after endovascular repair of ruptured abdominal aortic
aneurysms (RAAAs). Data Sources MEDLINE and EMBASE databases. Study Selection …

Objective Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) became an increasingly preferred modality
