The impact of endovascular aneurysm repair on mortality for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in England and the United States

摘要

Background: Procedural mortality is of paramount importance for patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. Previous comparative studies have demonstrated international differences in the care of ruptured AAA. This study compared the use of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and in-hospital mortality for elective AAA repair in England and the United States.
