Key result
Endovascular repair for acute abdominal aortic aneurysms resulted in significantly lower mean total in-hospital costs compared to open surgery (20,767 vs 35,470 euros; P=0.004).

Endovascular repair for acute infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms is associated with significantly lower in-hospital and 1-year follow-up costs compared to conventional open surgery.
Visser et al. (2006) conducted a cohort in Acute infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (n=67). Endovascular aneurysm repair vs. Conventional open surgery was evaluated on Total in-hospital costs (p=0.004). Endovascular repair for acute abdominal aortic aneurysms resulted in significantly lower mean total in-hospital costs compared to open surgery (20,767 vs 35,470 euros; P=0.004).
