Elective Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Clinical Trial
Official title:
ACE Trial :Not Worn-Out Aneurism of the Abdominal Aorta Under Renal " Surgery Versus Endoprosthesis "
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life threatening disease. There is a consensus to
propose surgical repair in patients with a reasonable operative risk when the AAA exceeds 5
cm in diameter.
The aim of the study is to compare the mortality and the occurrence of severe general,
vascular and local complications in two groups of patients treated by either by open surgery
or by EVAR (EndoVascular Aneurysm Repair). The main outcome criteria and the secondary
endpoint are respectively the survival without severe complications and minor morbidity.
