The Safety and Outcomes of Elective Endovascular Aneurysm Repair in the Elderly: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: Prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) increases with age. Previous trials confirm that elective endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is an effective intervention for AAA. However, few elderly patients were recruited into randomized trials, whereas in contemporary clinical practice, elective repair is commonly performed on octogenarians.
