Key result
Emergency EVAR for ruptured AAA appears feasible and safe compared to open repair.
Why the study?
Does emergency endovascular repair improve in-hospital mortality and 1-year survival compared to open repair in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Cohort (n=20)
Does emergency endovascular repair improve in-hospital mortality and 1-year survival compared to open repair in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm?
An EVAR-first strategy for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm appears feasible and safe, even in some patients with unfavorable anatomy.
May support EVAR-first feasibility in ruptured AAA; leaves open survival benefit versus open repair in randomized data.

Choo et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture (rAAA) (n=20). emergency endovascular aneurysm repair (eEVAR) vs. open repair was evaluated on in-hospital mortality and 1-year survival. An EVAR-first strategy for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm was feasible and safe, while the open repair group had outcome rates of 75% and 50%.
