Estado actual del tratamiento de los aneurismas de la aorta abdominal

Abstract

Abdominal aorta aneurysms present a high incidence in elderly population and are an important cause of morbi-mortality. The new endovascular aproach (EVAR) has allowed to treat an increasing number of patients, some of them not candidates for conventional surgery. Althouhg initial mortality with EVAR, in supra or infrarenal position, has been reduced, mid-term results are similar with both techniques. Larger and better registries are needed to determine the most cost/effective technique.
