Assessing trends, morbidity, and mortality in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with nine years of data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program

The American College of Surgeons' National Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database can be used to assess trends and outcomes of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) repair. The purpose of this study is to examine the morbidity and mortality for ruptured endovascular (rEVAR) and ruptured open (rOPEN) aneurysm repair compared with elective endovascular (EVAR) and elective open (OPEN) aneurysm repair.
