MACHADO, Rui et al. Age and Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: State of the Art. Angiol Cir Vasc [online]. 2016, vol.12, n.1, pp.31-34. ISSN 1646-706X. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ancv.2015.12.007.
Since Parodi's publication in 1991 about first EVAR, this therapy has been widely used in elderly and high risk patients. Several randomized controlled trials showed less 30-day mortality, shorter length of stay, lower consumption of blood products and better short-term quality of live with EVAR. When it comes to younger patients, it is imperative to question about procedure durability, reintervention rates and probability of aneurysmal sac growth and rupture, and if age is a determinant factor in EVAR choice. This review aims to answer this question, gathering the information of the most recent and relevant studies regarding this issue.
