Should open repair be the choice in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm instead of endovascular aortic repair —Experience in a tertiary referral vascular centre

ConclusionProtocol-driven management with AOB involving a multidisciplinary team approach can improve survival and perioperative outcomes in RAAA. In those cases with unfavourable anatomy, open repair should be performed. For those class IIA RAAAs, the method of repair should depend on the anatomy, and whether to use AOB should be an individualised decision. In cases of class IIB RAAAs, routine use of AOB can improve survival. For classes IIC and III, we would offer open repair with mandatory use of AOB employing a damage control approach.
