Description
Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms offers
the exciting possibility of minimally invasive aortic aneurysm
repair without the need for intensive care and without the
mortality associated with conventional open repair. However
the technology is new and there are many potential complications.
The pre and post procedural assessment and the technology
are also expensive and the technique has yet to prove its
durability. It is experimental and should therefore only be
performed after fully informed consent and as part of a registry
or randomised controlled trial.
