Multicenter Study
Multicenter audit of emergency endovascular repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms.
Emergency endovascular aneurysm repair (eEVAR) for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm has become widely accepted as an alternative to open repair, if the aortic anatomy is favorable and endovascular expertise is readily available. The aim of this study is to report the outcome of eEVAR in Hong Kong. ⋯ This audit shows that the results of eEVAR in Hong Kong are comparable to international standards. In the endovascular era, this may be an attractive alternative to emergency open aneurysm repair.
