- Abstract
The article presents a study on the result of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) in England, the function of endovascular repair (EVAR) and open repair, and the connection between the hospital workload and outcome. The study used co-morbidity and demographic data and propensity scored analysis to the Hospital Episode Statistics data of patients with AAA to quantify the outcome. Results showed that EVAR offers a survival benefit than open repair for non-elective aneurysm operations.
