Article Synopsis
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a serious condition with high mortality rates; this study examined the outcomes of AAA repairs in the Department of Defense from 2006 to 2011.* -
- A total of 632 patients had surgical repairs, with the majority undergoing endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), which showed lower 30-day mortality compared to open aortic repair (OAR), but the long-term survival rates were similar.* -
- Overall, while EVAR had better immediate outcomes, there was no significant difference in complications like stroke and heart issues between EVAR and OAR in both the short and long term.*
