Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Two-year outcomes after conventional or endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Two randomized trials have shown better outcomes with elective endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms than with conventional open repair in the first month after the procedure. We investigated whether this advantage is sustained beyond the perioperative period. ⋯ The perioperative survival advantage with endovascular repair as compared with open repair is not sustained after the first postoperative year.
