Less-invasive technique has improved outcomes of aortic aneurysm repair

3.7 percent from 2000 to 2003.

Compared to open surgery, patients undergoing EVAR required less recovery time in the hospital and intensive care unit. They were also less likely to be sent to a nursing home or other care facility after leaving the hospital. The improvement in results of AAA repair occurred despite the fact that the average patient age increased during the study period.

"Our study shows excellent results for EVAR, with less than two percent mortality in a nationwide sample," said Dr. Dillavou. "These outstanding results have influenced the outcomes of AAA repair overall. This means that AAA repair can be performed with fewer operative deaths, shorter hospital stays, and a faster return home."
