The impact of endovascular aneurysm repair on mortality for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in England and the United States

In-hospital survival and the uptake of EVAR are lower in England than in the United States. In both countries, mortality was lowest in high-caseload centers performing a greater proportion of cases with endovascular repair. These common factors suggest strategies for improving outcomes for patients requiring elective AAA repair.
