Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

[Endovascular treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms].

Currently, two treatment options for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are available: conventional open surgical repair and endovascular minimally invasive repair. Open repair carries a significant morbidity and mortality rate, most probably due to the combined effects of general anaesthesia and surgical exposure. Based on anatomical characteristics as assessed by CT scan, approximately...

EVAR for Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

R uptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAAs) are being treated by endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and other endovascular techniques with increasing frequency. Endovascular procedures offer many potential advantages over open repair (OR); they are less invasive, eliminate damage to periaortic and abdominal structures, decrease bleeding from surgical dissection, minimize hypothermia, and less...
