Review Meta Analysis
A Meta-Analysis of Locoregional Anesthesia Versus General Anesthesia in Endovascular Repair of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.
To conduct a meta-analytic review of studies investigating the effect of the anesthesia modality on perioperative mortality in endovascular repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (REVAR). ⋯ REVAR under LA is associated with a lower 30-day/in-hospital mortality than REVAR under GA. However, because the included studies may have had some observation bias, further randomized controlled trials are warranted to validate the present results.
