Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the short-, intermediate-, and longer-term outcomes after endovascular versus open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), including both AAA-related and all-cause mortality.

Background: Endovascular stent graft placement for AAA has gained broad acceptance as an alternative to open surgical repair due to a lower perioperative morbidity and mortality. The intermediate- and long-term all-cause and aneurysm-related mortality vary among studies. Thus, we sought to perform a meta-analysis of open versus endovascular repair for treating AAA.

Methods: Electronic databases were queried for identification of prospective, randomized trials of open surgery versus endovascular stent graft repair of AAA. A total of 10 published papers reporting on 6 studies at different follow-up intervals were identified; they involved 2,899 patients with AAA repai...
