AAA 3. Video Presentation: Open Paravisceral Aneurysm Repair

Aortic disease is among the top 20 leading causes of death in the United States. The open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm was first described in 1952 and since then has been the “gold standard,” but with the newer endovascular procedures being less invasive, its use has decreased. In 2014, Dua et al1 raised concerns that the volume of open aneurysm repair procedures is no longer conducive to an adequate vascular trainee education and that by 2020, vascular trainees are expected to do half of the open aneurysm repair cases that were done in 2010.
