Objective: In the past decade, treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has shifted dramatically from open aneurysm repair (OAR) to an endovascular approach (EVAR).

The main goal of this study was to evaluate AAA repair trends among vascular surgery residents over the last 15 years on a national level.
