Endovascular Repair of Aortic Aneurysms

Techniques for open repair of aortic aneurysms have remained remarkably steady over the past several decades. But with the trend toward minimally-invasive procedures sweeping across medicine, how are advancing techniques in endovascular repair of aortic aneurysms enhancing the standard of care? How do the current success rates for emergent and elective endovascular procedures compare with open repair? Dr. Michael Marin, professor and chair of surgery at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, examines these questions and more with Dr. Mark Nolan Hill.
