Given the high morbidity and mortality postrepair with EVAR and open surgery, one expert says the improved quality of life with EVAR should make it the gold standard for ruptured AAAs. X.

Growth in EVAR is increasing for both men and women, and while men are still more likely to receive the less-invasive approach, the gap is narrowing, Suckow reported. So there doesn’t seem to be a sex ...
