Is there a difference in operative
mortality between endovascular aneurysm repair and open surgery in
elective abdominal aortic aneurysm?
In response to an enquiry from the vascular services review
steering group
The following questions were
scoped:
1. In elective
AAA
repair, what is the
clinical effectiveness of
EVAR
compared with
OSR
in terms of
operative mortality?
2. In elective
AAA
repair, what is the cost
effectiveness of
EVAR
compared with
OSR
?
The content of this technologies
scoping report was accurate and based upon the most up to date
evidence available at the date of first publication. Readers are
asked to consider that new trials and technologies may have emerged
since first publication and the evidence presented may no longer be
current.
