Abstract:Background
It is unclear whether women derive mortality benefit from early repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The aim of this study was to compare short- and mid-term mortality for women treated at small versus large diameters.
Method
Women receiving elective repair of AAA at small (49–54 mm) and large (≥55 mm) diameters from 2008 to 2022 were extracted from the Swedish National Registry for Vascular Surgery (n = 164… Show more
