Abstract
Elective repair may be proposed in patients >85 years of age in cases of threatening AAA, showing acceptable perioperative mortality and reasonable midterm survival results. Even if EVAR did not seem to offer significant benefits in perioperative mortality in our study, it appears reasonable to suggest this less invasive technique as first-line treatment in cases of suitable anatomy in such an advanced-age population.
