Endovascular repair of aortic aneurysm in patients physically ineligible for open repair. N Engl J Med 2010; 362: 1872-1880.
Published: 1st January 2010
Authors: The United Kingdom EVAR Trial Investigators.
Conclusion
After eight years, three quarters of the original 404 patients had died. EVAR reduced aneurysm-related mortality (adjusted hazard ratio 0.53, 95 per cent confidence interval 0.32 to 0.89, P=0.02), but did not affect all cause mortality (0.99, 0.78 to 1.27, P=0.97).
