Does integrated management involving endovascular clamping, endovascular replacement, and open abdominal decompression improve surgical outcomes in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms?
An integrated management approach combining endovascular clamping, EVAR, and open abdominal decompression aims to improve surgical outcomes in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Integrated management may improve RAAA outcomes; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before changing practice.
Objective: Endovascular repair has become the treatment of choice for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAAs). To improve surgical outcomes, preoperative management is important. In 2011, we introduced integrated management, which involves endovascular aneurysm repair, stabilization of hemodynamics by endovascular clamping, and open abdominal decompression to address abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS).

Aoki et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (n=62). Integrated management (EVAR, endovascular clamping, open abdominal decompression) vs. Conventional strategy was evaluated on 30-day mortality (p=0.62). Integrated management for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms resulted in an 8.7% 30-day mortality rate compared to 12.8% with conventional management, though the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.62).
