Abstract:This study provides evidence that neither old patient age nor comorbidities influence the mortality of patients suffering from rAAA, for whom time-consuming case selection according to previous morbidities should therefore be omitted. Instead we recommend conventional surgical repair as soon as possible to maximize the chances of survival.
OR and EVAR need to be provided for rAAA. Despite lacking evidence, EVAR is the first choice treatment in experienced high-volume vascular centres. Low mortality rates in all RCTs raise the question if aortic surgery should be centralised.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
