To what extent has endovascular aneurysm repair influenced abdominal aortic aneurysm management in the state of Illinois?

EVAR has had a significant impact on AAA management in Illinois over a relatively short time period. In this population-based review, EVAR was associated with a significantly decreased in-hospital mortality and length of stay. Octogenarians had higher mortality after both types of repair, with the exception of elective EVAR.
