摘要
Endovascular aneurysm repair is useful for patients who are judged unfit for surgery. We investigated the outcome of endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm in patients fit and unfit for surgery. The 1-year cumulative survival for patients unfit for surgery and patients unfit for general anaesthesia was 20% and 23%, respectively. The overall health status of patients was an important predictor of survival after endovascular repair. The risks of endovascular aneurysm repair might, therefore, exceed that of non-operative management. Caution should he used when advising these patients about endovascular repair.
