Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Mini-laparotomy for repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm.
In this study, we evaluated the surgical results of minimal incision aortic surgery (MIAS) compared with the transabdominal approach (TPA) and the retroperitoneal approach (RPA) to repair non-ruptured infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). ⋯ MIAS is as safe as retroperitoneal repair and standard transabdominal repair in the treatment of non-ruptured infrarenal AAA, and also more costefficient than retroperitoneal and standard transabdominal repair.
