Endovascular repair does not reduce 90-day mortality versus open repair; reinforces similar survival in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Does endovascular repair reduce mortality compared to open repair in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Endovascular repair and open repair for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm have similar 90-day survival rates, though endovascular repair is associated with faster hospital discharge.
Sweeting et al. (2015) studied this question.
