Key result
Endovascular repair for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms appears to be associated with favorable 30-day mortality compared to open repair with appropriate case selection.
Why the study?
Does endovascular aneurysm repair improve 30-day mortality in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms compared to open repair?
Systematic Review (n=24)
Does endovascular aneurysm repair improve 30-day mortality in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms compared to open repair?
Endovascular repair for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms appears to be associated with favorable 30-day mortality compared to open repair, though high-quality randomized evidence is limited.

May support selective endovascular repair in ruptured AAA; leaves open confirmation by randomized trials.
Foster et al. (2010) conducted a systematic review in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (n=24). Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) vs. Open repair was evaluated on 30-day mortality. Endovascular repair for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms appears to be associated with favorable 30-day mortality compared to open repair with appropriate case selection.
