Abstract | ||||
Background: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms had always been one of the most serious causes of mortality in the past decades until recently. Thanks to the modern advances in medicine and the technological revolution in Imaging and endograft Industry, treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms no longer imposes that high mortality risk it previously had. Objective: This study aims to review currently available evidence aiming at designing an approach for the management abdominal aortic aneurysm. Subjects and Methods: We are planning to search Medline, Plumbed, Cochrane databases using the keywords: "management", " abdominal", " aortic", " aneurysm". Any studies published in English with subjects with surgical and endovascular management of abdominal aortic aneurysm will be included up to 1/3/2017. Results: The present systematic review confirmed this belief. EVAR patients had a significantly lower 30-day mortality, shorter hospital and ICU stay, less blood loss or blood transfusion requirement, fewer postoperative cardiac and respiratory morbidities, less colonic ischaemia, and fewer overall postoperative problems compared to open repaired aneurysm patients. | ||||
