Key result
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is the primary treatment for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms due to lower 30-day all-cause mortality compared to open surgical repair (1.6% vs. 4.8%).
This review summarizes the current management of infrarenal AAAs, highlighting that EVAR is the preferred primary treatment due to short-term morbidity and mortality benefits, despite a lack of long-term superiority over open surgical repair.

Favors EVAR preference for infrarenal AAA short-term survival; leaves open long-term durability versus open repair.
leading cause of death in the United States. While aneurysms can occur along the entire length of the aorta, the infrarenal location is the most common. Targeted ultrasound screening has been found to be an effective and economical means of preventing aortic aneurysm rupture. The indication for repair includes either symptomatic aneurysms or aneurysms with a diameter greater than 5.4 cm. Treatment options for the repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms are open surgical repair (OSR) and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Currently, EVAR is the primary treatment method for the repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms due to improved short-term morbidity and mortality outcomes. This article is intended to review the current status of the management of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).

Wang et al. (2018) conducted a review in Infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) vs. Open surgical repair (OSR) was evaluated. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is the primary treatment for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms due to lower 30-day all-cause mortality compared to open surgical repair (1.6% vs. 4.8%).
