A scoping review of the rationale and evidence for cost-effective analysis of fenestrated-branched endovascular repair for intact complex aortic aneurysms.
Cost-effectiveness analysis of new interventions is increasingly required by policy makers. For intact complex aortic aneurysms (CAA), fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (F-BEVAR) offers a minimally invasive alternative option for patients who are physically ineligible for open surgical repair (OSR). Thus, F-BEVAR is increasingly used, but whether it represents a cost-effective treatment option remains unknown.
