TL;DR: Endovascular repair is preferable to open repair in patients who have an abdominal aortic aneurysm that is at least 5 cm in diameter and long-term follow-up is needed to determine whether this advantage is sustained.

TL;DR: Endovascular and open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm resulted in similar rates of survival six years after randomization, and the rate of secondary interventions was significantly higher for endovascular repair.

TL;DR: A multicenter, randomized trial comparing open repair with endovascular repair in 351 patients who had received a diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm of at least 5 cm in diameter and who were considered suitable candidates for both techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the incidence of delayed complications following endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair and the relationship of these sequelae to morphological changes in the sac and endograft.

TL;DR: A larger thrombus in AAA was associated with a higher AAA growth rate, but also with a lower wall stress, suggesting weakening of the AAA wall, under the influence ofThrombus, may play a more imminent role in the process of AAA growth than the stress acting on the wall.
