TI  - Endovascular aortic repair should be the gold standard for ruptured AAAs, and all 
      vascular surgeons should be prepared to perform them.
PG  - 275-82
AB  - When ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are not treated, they cause 
      death. In addition, ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAAs) have high 
      mortality (35%-70%) and morbidity rates when treated by standard open surgical 
      methods. These high perioperative mortality and morbidity rates have not been 
      substantially reduced despite the introduction of many improvements in open 
      operative technique or perioperative care. Endovascular approaches to treat AAAs 
      introduced in the early 1990s provided an opportunity to substantially alter 
      treatment outcomes when rupture occurred. This article details how these 
      endovascular approaches, which include endovascular stented grafts, can be 
      applied to the treatment of RAAAs, and what advantages these new catheter-based 
      approaches to treatment offer.
