Abstract
In recent years evidence has gathered on the differences in treatment rates, complications, and worse survival in women compared with men with abdominal aortic aneurysms.1 In this issue, Nana et al. present a meta-analysis where the one and 12 month survival rates after complex aortic endovascular repairs performed with fenestrated and/or branched endografts (F/BEVAR) were inferior in women.2 It is tempting to conclude immediately that the threshold for F/BEVAR in women should be revised. However, several aspects need to be considered before going that far, as presumably more women are already denied treatment.
