Abstract
A ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) remains one of the most challenging, morbid, and mortal conditions that confronts a vascular surgeon. A number of patient-, surgeon-, and systems-based factors determine whether the optimal approach to care for these challenging patients is endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) or open surgical repair (OSR). In this issue of the Journal, Salata et al1 compare the short- and long-term results of EVAR and OSR for rAAA in Ontario between 2003 and 2016. They demonstrate that EVAR is associated with significant benefit in 30-day mortality and a reduction in major adverse cardiac events.
