Key result
Left open retroperitoneal abdominal aortic surgery in patients unsuitable for endovascular repair resulted in a 30-day mortality rate of 4.8%.
Why the study?

Observational (n=84)
Does left retroperitoneal open aortic surgery provide acceptable outcomes in patients unsuitable for endovascular aneurysm repair?
Left retroperitoneal open aortic surgery yields acceptable outcomes (4.8% 30-day mortality) in complex patients unsuitable for endovascular repair, supporting the centralization of specialized vascular services.

May support open repair in select EVAR-ineligible patients; leaves open need for randomized long-term comparisons.
Twine et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Aortic aneurysm (n=84). Left open retroperitoneal (RP) abdominal aortic surgery was evaluated on 30-day mortality. Left open retroperitoneal abdominal aortic surgery in patients unsuitable for endovascular repair resulted in a 30-day mortality rate of 4.8%.
