The future of EVAR in the management of ruptured AAAs.
Endovascular repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms is an evolving technique. Data from nonrandomized series suggest that it may be beneficial in selected patients. In the next few years, a number of large randomized clinical trials will clarify its role. Issues regarding anatomical suitability, techniques, perioperative care, and service provision need to be addressed in order to optimize outcomes.
