Abstract
Background: For most individuals, an aortic diameter greater than 3.0 cm is generally considered aneurysmal. Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (EVAR) represents a widely available alternative to open surgical repair. Aim of the work: The aim of this work is to discuss anatomical and surgical considerations and technique of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair, discuss its different anesthetic techniques, in addition to its post operative complications. Conclusion: Despite advances in endovascular salvage techniques for endograft complications, some circumstances require conversion to open repair. The overall incidence of conversion (early or late) is about 2%. Elective open surgical conversion following failed endovascular repair may be associated with increased morbidity and mortality, particularly if the patient was deemed at high risk for open surgery.
