NEJM - "Long-Term Outcomes of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in the Medicare Population"

"Long-Term Outcomes of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in the Medicare Population"

"CONCLUSIONS
Endovascular repair, as compared with open repair, of abdominal aortic aneurysm was associated with a substantial early survival advantage that gradually decreased over time. The rate of late rupture was significantly higher after endovascular repair than after open repair. The outcomes of endovascular repair have been improving over time. (Funded by the National Institutes of Health.)"
