In the present issue of EJVES, Falster et al. publish a timely and large cohort comparative study of the majority of the current
devices used for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR).

The authors used the administrative data of 2 874 patients who had elective EVAR
between 2010 and 2019 in Australia. They compared mortality, secondary rupture, and
subsequent aneurysm repair rates between the Cook (Zenith; Cook Medical, Bloomington,
IN, USA), Medtronic (Endurant; Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA), and Gore (Excluder;
W.L. Gore, Flagstaff, AZ, USA) devices over a median 4.1 year follow up. Mortality
and secondary rupture rates were not different, but subsequent aneurysm repairs were
more common after implantation of the Medtronic and Gore devices. These results remained
significant for the Medtronic device after adjustment. Does the current study allow
for improved decision making and endograft choice, or should we consider it as a signal
warranting further evaluation?To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
