Comparison of endovascular aneurysm repair with open repair in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (EVAR trial 1), 30-day operative mortality results: randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: In patients with large AAAs, treatment by EVAR reduced the 30-day operative mortality by two-thirds compared with open repair, and any change in clinical practice should await durability and longer term results.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transluminal placement of endovascular stent-grafts for the treatment of descending thoracic aortic aneurysms.

TL;DR: These preliminary results demonstrate that endovascular stent-graft repair is safe in highly selected patients with descending thoracic aortic aneurysms and will, however, require careful long-term evaluation.

Endovascular aneurysm repair versus open repair in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (EVAR trial 1): randomised controlled trial

Evar trial participants
- 25 Jun 2005 - 
TL;DR: Compared with open repair, EVAR offers no advantage with respect to all-cause mortality and HRQL, is more expensive, and leads to a greater number of complications and reinterventions, however, it does result in a 3% better aneurysm-related survival.

Experience with 1509 patients undergoing thoracoabdominal aortic operations

TL;DR: Although the survival rate has improved, paraplegia/paraparesis and kidney failure continue to be vexing problems that require further research.
