Why the study?
Does endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair reduce adverse cardiac events compared to open repair in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms?
Population
146 patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (83 endovascular, 63 open)
Comparison
Endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair vs Open abdominal aortic aneurysm (OAAA) repair
Design
Cohort

Similar cardiac risks observed with endovascular versus open AAA repair; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice pending RCTs.
Does endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair reduce adverse cardiac events compared to open repair in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms?
Endovascular and open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair are associated with similar rates of perioperative adverse cardiac events and mortality.
