Abstract:Aim
Ruptured Abdominal Aortic aneurysms (rAAA) are a fatal vascular condition. In 2018, The Get It Right First Time Programme (GRIFT) recommended the restructuring of vascular services in England to a Hub and Spoke model where AAA repairs should be performed in higher volume centres, the hub sites.
