Open repair was associated with low mortality in comorbid veterans; extends contemporary benchmarks but leaves open randomized endovascular comparisons.
Cohort (n=121)
Conventional open AAA repair in a veteran population with significant cardiac comorbidities is associated with low mortality (1.6%) and short hospital stays, providing a contemporary benchmark for comparison with endovascular techniques.
Cruz et al. (2001) conducted a cohort in Abdominal aortic aneurysm (n=121). Conventional open surgical repair was evaluated on 30-day mortality rate. Conventional open surgical repair of non-ruptured elective abdominal aortic aneurysms in male veterans resulted in a 30-day mortality rate of 1.6%.
