Abstract
Both therapies have comparable outcomes. Reintervention is more common with catheter-based treatment, but overall complication rates are not higher and hospital stay is shorter. Our data span > 2 decades and may not reflect current surgical and catheterization outcomes. Large, randomized, prospective studies may help determine the optimal treatment strategy.
