Changes in Anesthesia Can Reduce Periprocedural Urinary Retention After EVAR

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs provide a streamlined approach for expedient post-operative care of high-volume procedures. Since the implementation of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), post-operative length of stay (LOS) has continued to decrease to the point where many patients now are discharged the day after the procedure.1-3 Patients that usually meet eligibility criteria for early discharge include those with low preoperative risk and amenable aortic anatomy.
