This report emphasizes the need for continued awareness of potential graft-related septic complications in patients undergoing EVAR of AAA. Attention to detail with regard to sterility and antibiotic prophylaxis during stent grafting and during any secondary interventions is vital in reducing the risk of infection. In addition, early recognition and prompt treatment are essential for a successful outcome.

Serious complications are common after elective open AAA repair, and we have shown for the first time that a restricted perioperative fluid regimen can prevent MC and significantly reduce overall hospital stay.

For the treatment of symptomatic or ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, emergency endovascular repair (EVRAR) is feasible in selected patients, with early outcomes comparable to best conventional open surgical repair for the treatment of RAAA.
