What is the long-term relative survival of patients undergoing surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm compared to age and sex matched controls?
Five-year relative survival after elective abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery is excellent, particularly in men and selected octogenarians, supporting surgical intervention in these groups.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High relative survival after elective AAA repair in selected patients supports intervention; leaves open optimal selection, especially for women.
