Why the study?
Does endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) reduce morbidity and mortality compared to conventional open surgery in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Does endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) reduce morbidity and mortality compared to conventional open surgery in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is highlighted as a less invasive alternative to open surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysms, with the potential to reduce hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality.

May guide EVAR selection in suitable patients; leaves open randomized confirmation of morbidity and mortality benefits.
Endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an evolving technology which continues to be practiced in more and more centres worldwide in an effort to avoid major abdominal surgery and its associated morbidity and mortality. As with conventional open surgery, the objective of endovascular management is to provide a durable repair maintaining antegrade flow in the graft whilst simultaneously excluding flow in the aneurysm. Endovascular treatment offers a less invasive alternative to standard surgical repair with the potential of reduced hospitalisation, morbidity and mortality.
