Endovascular repair was associated with better perioperative outcomes in octogenarians; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of durability and generalizability.
Does endovascular stent graft placement improve perioperative outcomes compared to standard open repair in octogenarians with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms?
Endovascular stent graft treatment of nonruptured infrarenal AAAs in octogenarians leads to significantly better perioperative outcomes compared to standard open repair.
