Key result
Endovascular repair of acute abdominal aortic aneurysm resulted in no mortality and significantly reduced median blood loss (125 vs 3400 mL, p=0.010) compared to matched conventional open repair.
Why the study?
Does endovascular repair improve procedural outcomes and reduce morbidity/mortality compared to conventional open repair in patients with acute abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Cohort (n=22)
Does endovascular repair improve procedural outcomes and reduce morbidity/mortality compared to conventional open repair in patients with acute abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Endovascular repair of acute abdominal aortic aneurysm is feasible and significantly reduces blood loss and hospital length of stay compared to conventional open surgery.

Endovascular repair may reduce blood loss in acute AAA; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Sambeek et al. (2002) conducted a cohort in Acute abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) (n=22). Endovascular repair vs. Conventional open repair was evaluated on Mortality. Endovascular repair of acute abdominal aortic aneurysm resulted in no mortality and significantly reduced median blood loss (125 vs 3400 mL, p=0.010) compared to matched conventional open repair.
