Ruptured AAA
Outcomes
Rather than asking “Is EVAR better than
open repair for rAAA?”
…more appropriate to ask, “ Can we
improve the performance of our rAAA
program by incorporating EVAR into our
protocol?”
EVAR was done in 36% of patients in the postprotocol period
30 day Mortality decreased from 30% to 17.9% for all patients
30 day mortality was 5% for EVAR vs 28.3% for Open Repair
