Background The mortality of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) repair is currently 40-50%. Reports indicate that endovascular repair (EVAR) is feasible for rAAA and may offer potential benefits over open repair. We examined the NSQIP database to compare 30-day multicentre outcomes for EVA...
