Inferior Mid-term Durability with Comparable Survival for Younger Patients Undergoing Elective Endovascular Infrarenal versus Open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Background The durability of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) when compared to open surgical repair (OSR) in younger patients for elective, infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) remains unclear due to limited follow-up. Methods We identified all patients <70 years of age who underwent elective, de novo EVAR or OSR for infrarenal AAA from 2003 to 2013 in a multihospital, single institution. Baseline patient clinical and aneurysmal...
