A systematic review on the quality of life and functional status after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in elderly patients with an average age older than 75 years
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and open repair (OR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are increasingly performed in elderly patients (>75 years of age) with satisfactory results. Quality of life (QOL) is increasingly considered a primary goal of intervention after AAA repair. However, there is currently no consensus on QOL after these procedures in elderly patients.
