Why the study?
What are the real-world rates of readmission, reintervention, and complications following endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms?
Population
3,350 patients undergoing elective repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) between 2000 and 2005.
Comparison
Endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair vs Non-EVAR elective AAA repair
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
Mean time to late interventions was 611 days

Post-EVAR readmissions and reinterventions exceed prior estimates in routine care; leaves open whether targeted strategies can reduce cardiac-driven returns.
What are the real-world rates of readmission, reintervention, and complications following endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms?
Real-world population data indicates that readmission, reintervention, and complication rates after EVAR are higher than previously described, with cardiac issues being the most common cause for readmission.
Vogel et al. (2008) studied this question.
