Long-term freedom from aneurysm-related mortality remains favorable after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in a 15-year multicenter registry

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become the preferred approach to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) because of lower early morbidity and mortality than open repair. However, the ability of EVAR to prevent long-term aneurysm-related mortality (ARM) has been questioned in light of recent trial data. We have updated our long-term EVAR experience in a large multicenter registry to further examine this issue.
