Perceived health-related quality of life is similar 3 months after endovascular and open AAA repair, despite greater initial surgical trauma in open surgery.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
HRQOL recovery appears comparable after endovascular and open AAA repair; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
Malina et al. (2000) studied this question.
