    AbstractAbdominal aortic aneurysm is a disease seen in the elderly. Without intervention, an aneurysm can rupture which leads to death in most cases. Surgical resection was the gold standard treatment for many years but since two decades, endovascular repair has surged drastically. Less invasive and morbid than open repair, this technique has significantly evolved in the recent years. Nowadays the whole aorta can be treated with endovascular techniques in expert hands. This article presents an overview of different endovascular solutions and innovations in the management of aortic aneurysms.
