Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Abstract

Endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR) offers a less invasive approach to treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) compared to traditional open repair. EVAR is illustrated with before and post-repair CT angiographic images. Procedure indications, usage and available outcomes data are summarized; however, the long-term outcome of current endografts is not known.
