Thoracic aortic aneurysms represent a major health problem. Untreated thoracic aortic aneurysms may rupture, which has a dismal outcome. The standard treatment for thoracic aneurysms is open surgical ...

Undergoing an endovascular repair instead of an open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms confers a modestly greater likelihood of survival, but higher reintervention and rupture rates, according to a ...

Cardiovascular specialists have demonstrated the effectiveness of using stents -- as compared to traditional open-chest surgery -- to repair aortas that are torn as the result of accidents. A UC Davis ...

A recent study revealed that endovascular repair of complex aortic aneurysms using fenestrated and branched endografts provides a safe and effective alternative to open surgical repair, with the ...

Elective endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm results in lower perioperative mortality than traditional open repair, but after 4 years this survival advantage is not seen; in addition, ...

We analyzed 396 patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (57 who had undergone endovascular repair and 339 who had undergone open repair) for long-term prognosis with regard to the presence or ...

For people with unfavourable aneurysm morphology needing an endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) as their first procedure, or for people with an existing EVAR who need a secondary procedure, ...
