Comparison of Unibody and Non-Unibody Endografts for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair in Medicare Beneficiaries: The SAFE-AAA Study

These data support the urgency of instituting a prospective longitudinal surveillance program for monitoring safety events related to aortic stent grafts.PMID:36866664 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.062123
