The AAA With a Challenging Neck: Outcome of Open Versus Endovascular Repair With Standard and Fenestrated Stent-Grafts

Abstract

The results of EVAR and OR were similar for AAAs with a challenging proximal neck. Endovascular reinterventions were more frequent after EVAR, particularly in patients with an angulated or short neck. Open reinterventions were more common after OR. More patients and long-term data are needed to confirm these findings.
