Aneurysm repair is a mechanical solution to the problem of progressive expansion of abdominal aortic aneurysm and the risk of rupture. Although open surgical repair, which has been the established approach, is very effective, it carries substantial risks from the extensive surgical procedure. Endovascular repair was developed to reduce the risks associated with open surgery and to provide a treatment option for patients who are not deemed to be surgical candidates.

  • The aneurysm can decrease in size after endovascular repair in 50% of patients.

  • Does the aneurysmal portion of the artery atrophy back to be in contact with the graft?

  • Really cool! Thank you NEJM!
