Is endovascular aneurysm repair feasible and safe in elderly patients with contained ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms?
Endovascular repair of contained ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms is feasible and shows promising short-term results with no in-hospital mortality in an elderly cohort.
Hsiao et al. (2011) conducted an observational in contained ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (n=6). Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) was evaluated on surgical or in-hospital mortality. Endovascular repair of contained ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms resulted in 0% surgical or in-hospital mortality among 6 elderly patients.
