In-hospital Mortality Risk after Endovascular and Open Aortic Aneurysm Repairs for Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Observational studies demonstrate reduced mortality after endovascular (EVAR) compared to open aneurysm repair (OAR) for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA). We sought to determine national trends in repair type and in-hospital mortality rates for rAAA.
