Endovascular Aneurysm Repair for Large Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms is Associated With Higher Late Re-Intervention, Rupture, and Mortality Rates: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Abstract

Introduction: The risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture increases with increasing aneurysm diameter. However, the impact of AAA diameter on late outcomes after aneurysm repair is unclear. Therefore, we assessed the association of large AAA diameter with late outcomes in patients undergoing open and endovascular AAA repair.
