Faster sac regression after ruptured EVAR may inform surveillance intensity; leaves open whether this alters outcomes or requires prospective validation.
Does emergent EVAR for ruptured AAA result in a different rate of aneurysm sac regression compared to elective EVAR?
Aneurysm sac regression occurs at a significantly higher rate following EVAR for ruptured AAA compared to elective EVAR.
Arya et al. (2004) studied this question.
