Abstract
Compared with younger patients, EVAR in octogenarians is associated with a significantly higher but still acceptable peri-operative and midterm mortality rate. Because of similar midterm re-intervention rates, these findings suggest that EVAR remains an appropriate therapeutic approach in the elderly group if comprehensive pre-operative evaluation and post-operative surveillance are incorporated.
