Choice of treatment for the patient with urgent AAA: practicaltips

Abstract

Since the first successful attempts of emergency endovascular aneurysm repair (eEVAR) for patientswith ruptured AAAs in the mid 1990s, surgeons have had to decide whether to treat patients byconventional open surgery or by minimally invasive but technically more demanding eEVAR. To date,selection of patients for eEVAR is still heavily debated and factors like hemodynamic instability, fear oftreatment delay for patient transfer or imaging procedures and logistic issues often lead to the exclusionof anatomically suitable patients from eEVAR. However, these adverse factors may be overcome byadherence to an appropriate (intention-to-treat) protocol employing the use of a hypotensive hemostaticapproach, transfemoral aortic balloon occlusion technique (when needed), different types of devices andan appropriate plan to resolve logistic issues, leaving anatomic suitability as the single most importantdeterminant of suitability for EVAR.
