Objective Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become the preferred approach to
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) because of lower early morbidity and mortality than open …

Background Aortic aneurysms are worrisome because of their predisposition to dissection
and rupture. Beta-blockers are considered first-line therapy for aortic aneurysms. The …

Objective Large abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) present a significant mortality risk.
While numerous medical interventions have been proposed, no drugs have convincingly …

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 …

Background Renal function may be associated with poor outcome following endovascular
abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR), but this relationship has not been adequately …

Background: In the event of rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), mortality is very
high. AAA prevalence and incidence of ruptures have been reported to be decreasing. The …

Objectives Previous studies imply a profound residual mortality risk following successful
abdominal aorta aneurysm (AAA) repair. This excess mortality is generally attributed to …

OBJECTIVE: Clinically evident renal disease is a risk factor for mortality after aneurysm
repair. Serum creatinine is widely used as a measure of renal function in the preoperative …

OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether EndoVascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) influences
the rate of cardiovascular events (fatal or non-fatal myocardial infarction or stroke) in patients …

Objective The aim was to summarise the evidence from published epidemiological studies
investigating the efficacy of statin therapy on long term survival in patients after abdominal …
