Abstract
In approximately half the rAAA patients, eEVAR appeared viable. An unsuitable infrarenal neck was the most frequent cause to select open repair. In dedicated centers using a Talent AUI system, eEVAR appeared to be a feasible method for treatment of a rAAA. The overall first-month mortality did not differ across treatment groups (patients with endovascular and open repair combined), yet was somewhat lower than observed in a recent meta-analysis reporting on open repair.
