Does open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair have acceptable outcomes in elderly patients (≥75 years) compared to younger patients?
Open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair can be safely performed in patients aged 75 and older with acceptable mortality and complication rates comparable to younger patients, especially when enhanced hemodynamic monitoring is utilized.

Mannová et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) (n=171). Age ≥75 years vs. Age <75 years was evaluated on 30-day mortality. Open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in patients aged 75 years and older showed no significant difference in 30-day mortality or major complications compared to younger patients.
