Does endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality compared to open repair in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms is associated with significantly lower perioperative morbidity and shorter hospital stays compared to open repair, with comparable midterm mortality.
Prault et al. (2004) studied this question.
