EurekAlert! -- SAN DIEGO, Calif. (March 10, 2009)—Endovascular or endograft repair, a minimally invasive interventional radiology treatment that uses stent grafts to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), has low re-intervention rates that are comparable to those reported for open surgical repair—and can be recommended as first-line treatment, according to a study released at the Society of Interventional Radiology’s 34th Annual Scientific Meeting.
