Does emergency endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) provide acceptable mortality rates in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Emergency EVAR for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm is feasible and offers acceptable mortality rates, though larger multicenter studies are needed to establish its definitive role.
Ukovich et al. (2011) conducted an observational in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) (n=14). Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) was evaluated on Mortality. Emergency endovascular aortic repair for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm resulted in a 28% post-operative mortality rate.
