Does endovascular repair compared to open abdominal repair improve early outcomes in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Does endovascular repair compared to open abdominal repair improve early outcomes in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Both endovascular and open repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms demonstrate satisfactory early outcomes and 1-year survival in a Japanese multicenter cohort.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Similar early mortality and survival with EVAR and open repair; leaves open EVAR superiority in non-randomized Japanese cohorts.
Handa et al. (2012) studied this question.
