Oliveira Pinto, José; Sá, Pedro; Sousa, Joel; Mansilha, ArmandoINTRODUCTION Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), defined as intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) greater than 20 mm Hg that is associated with new organ dysfunction/failure, represents na uncommon but hazardous complication after endovascular aneurysm repair for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (r-EVAR). The aim of this review is to overview incidence, mortality and potential benefit of expedite treatment of ACS...
ENDOVASCULAR ANEURYSM REPAIR FOR INTACT AND RUPTURED ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSMS...

Survival after discharge seems to be similar between EVAR for rAAA (r-EVAR) and for elective patients (el-EVAR). Still, due to higher anatomical complexity more graft-related complications may arise in r-EVAR patients. Methods: MEDLINE databases were search...
