Abstract
Pouncey et al. have conducted a relevant meta-analysis comparing the short term outcomes of intact abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair in women vs. men.1 Worse overall outcomes for vascular procedures in women have been reported previously, including for AAA repair.2,3 However, AAA management has undergone deep transformations, mainly related to advances in endoluminal devices and continuous improvement of open and endovascular techniques.4 Additionally, we have seen a gradual improvement in peri-operative care, potentially reducing or eliminating these sex related discrepancies.
