Anaesthesia Technique and Outcomes Following Endovascular Aneurysm Repair of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Background: The post-hoc subgroup analysis of a large randomized controlled trial, alongside a single case series, has suggested a potential benefit from managing ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA) with endovascular repair (EVAR) using local anaesthesia (LA) rather than general anaesthesia (GA). The uptake and outcomes of this technique in everyday clinical practice are as yet unknown.
